Observation of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering by COHERENT

摘要

The COHERENT collaboration measured coherent elastic neutrino-nucleusscattering (CEvNS) for the first time at the Spallation Neutron Source at OakRidge National Laboratory, using a CsI[Na] detector. Here we discuss the natureof the CEvNS process, physics motivations, and experimental considerations formeasuring CEvNS. We describe the CsI[Na] measurement, along with status andfuture of COHERENT.
