The neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering (CEνNS), as a low-energy channel of neutrino neutral current, was predicted right after the discovery of W, Z bosons. Not until its detection in 2017 using the high-energy neutrino flux from a neutron spallation source, CEνNS had been evading detection due to its very low energy deposition. CEνNS has the highest cross-section among all interaction...
The CONUS experiment (COherent elastic NeUtrino nucleus Scattering) is searching for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CeνNS) with germanium detectors in Brokdorf Nuclear Power Plant (KBR, Germany). Four 1kg modules are placed 17m near the 3.9GW reactor core, monitoring an energy regime down to sub-keV with a background rate of ~10 per day per keV. In late 2022 the data taking was...
The experiment nuGeN is aimed at studying the properties of antineutrinos from the 3.1 GWth reactor of the Kalinin NPP (Udomlya, Russia). The experimental setup was installed under the reactor core of the KNPP on a special lifting platform at a distance of 11.1-12.2 m from center of the reactor core, which allows to operate an enormous flux of antineutrinos in (3.6 - 4.4)*10^13 (cm-2 sec-1). A...
Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering, also known as CEvNS, describes the physical process of atomic nucleus scattering with neutrino as a whole, and the scattering cross section is approximately proportional to the square of atomic nucleus neutron number. The research on CEvNS has important scientific significance and application value. The RECODE project (Reactor neutrino COherent...
