Talk

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the COHERENT collaboration has built a heavy water Cherenkov detector to measure the neutrino flux coming from the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) via the scattering of neutrinos on deuterium nuclei, with the primary aim of improving the precision of past and future CEvNS measurements. Detector construction was completed and measurements began in the...

60. NEP-ton and Plνt3o: Lead glass neutrino experiments at the SNS

In 2015, the COHERENT collaboration attempted to measure the electron-neutrino charged current (CC) cross-section on lead. The Eljen cell and the Neutrino Cubes detectors hunted for the Neutrino Induced Neutrons (NINs) produced by this process. The results indicated a surprisingly small cross-section — less than one third of the predicted signals were observed. Understanding the NINs...

40. Towards the first measurement of low-energy electron neutrino charged-current scattering on argon with the CCM experiment

Talk

The Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) experiment, located at Los Alamos National Laboratory, employs a 10-ton liquid argon detector to study neutrino interactions, search for dark matter candidates, and explore physics beyond the Standard Model.
In this work, we present ongoing efforts towards enabling the first measurement of low-energy charged-current (CC) scattering of electron neutrinos on...

44. Neutron scatter camera for characterizing the background at CEvNS experimental sites

Talk

For the CE$\nu$NS experiments that we are developing at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), it is essential to characterize the neutrons produced at the facility. The European Spallation Source (ESS) being one of the promising experimental facilities for the observation of CE$\nu$NS, detailed simulations of the neutron background at the ESS have been performed. However, as in...
