Magnificent CEvNS School
The CEvNS Neutrino School will be held before the Magnificent CEvNS workshop, from Thursday June 5 to Saturday June 7, 2025, at the Brazilian Centre for Physics Research (CBPF). The school is aimed at student and postdoctoral researchers working on experimental and theoretical low-energy neutrino physics. The goal is to gain a profound understanding of neutrino physics, especially CEvNS, neutrino detection concepts, and data analysis. No pre-knowledge is needed for participation. The programme will be divided into two parts: lectures and hands-on projects.

Preliminary school lectures programme:
- Neutrino theory - Diego Aristizabal
- Neutrino detection at low energies - TBA
- Statistics and data analysis for rare events - Dario Rodrigues
The projects are designed to gain insight into experimental work in hardware and data analysis and theoretical work in calculations. On the final day of the school, the projects will be presented and discussed. Students can choose one of the following projects (the list is preliminary and will be updated):
- CEvNS cross section calculation - Diego Aristizabal
- Data analysis and exclusion limits - Dario Rodrigues
- Silicon detectors for neutrinos - Brenda Cervantes-Vergara and Carla Bonifazi
- TBA
The CEvNS Neutrino School lectures and hands-on activities will take place in the lecture halls and labs of the Brazilian Centre for Physics Research (CBPF).
