The CONNIE experiment began operating with Skipper-CCDs in 2021, marking the first use of Skipper technology in a reactor neutrino experiment. This technology enables charge measurements with sub-electron resolution, enhancing the ability to detect and characterize low-energy signals. As a result, the experiment achieved a detection threshold as low as 15 eV. Data collected with exposures of...
The neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering (CEνNS), known as CEνNS, has the largest cross-section among all interaction channels for MeV neutrinos, making it the most promising way to remotely monitor nuclear reactors. A precise determination of the CEvNS cross section has a significant impact on understanding the properties of neutrinos and constraining new physics beyond the standard model....
This presentation will detail the latest advancements in the development and characterization of a 6.6 kg proto-type CryoCsI detector, comprising two 3.3 kg cesium iodide (CsI) crystals operated at around 90K. Key performance metrics of the detector, including light yield optimization, spatial uniformity of signal response, and long-term stability under sustained cryogenic conditions, will be...
