Abstract

The Magnificent CE$\nu$NS Workshop (2018) was held November 2 & 3 of 2018 on the University of Chicago campus and brought together theorists, phenomenologists, and experimentalists working in numerous areas but sharing a common interest in the process of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS). This is a collection of abstract-like summaries of the talks given at the meeting, including links to the slides presented. This document and the slides from the meeting provide an overview of the field and a snapshot of the robust CE$\nu$NS-related efforts both planned and underway.

First Measurement of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering on Argon
David Reyna

Physical Review Letters, 2021

We report the first measurement of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) on argon using a liquid argon detector at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Spallation Neutron Source. Two independent analyses prefer CEvNS over the background-only null hypothesis with greater than 3σ significance. The measured cross section, averaged over the incident neutrino flux, is (2.2 ± 0.7) ×10 −39 cm 2-consistent with the standard model prediction. The neutron-number dependence of this result, together with that from our previous measurement on CsI, confirms the existence of the CEvNS process and provides improved constraints on non-standard neutrino interactions.

Reactor neutrino applications and coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering
Maitland Bowen

Physical Review D, 2020

Potential applications of neutrino detection to nuclear security have been discussed since the 1970s. Recent years have seen great progress in detector technologies based on inverse beta decay, with the demonstration of ton-scale surface-level detectors capable of high quality neutrino spectrum measurements. At the same time coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering has been experimentally confirmed in 2017 with neutrinos from stopped pion decay and there is a number of experiments aimed at seeing this reaction with reactor neutrinos. The large cross section and threshold-less nature of this reaction make it plausible to consider it for applications to nuclear security and here, we present a first direct comparison of the two reaction modes. 1 In this letter we deal exclusively with electron antineutrinos and for brevity will refer to them simply as neutrinos.

A method for measuring coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering at a far off-axis high-energy neutrino beam target
A. Empl

Physical Review D, 2014

We present a new experimental method for measuring the process of Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering (CENNS). This method uses a detector situated transverse to a high energy neutrino beam production target. This detector would be sensitive to the low energy neutrinos arising from pion decays-at-rest in the target. We discuss the physics motivation for making this measurement and outline the predicted backgrounds and sensitivities using this approach. We report a measurement of neutron backgrounds as found in an off-axis surface location of the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) target. The results indicate that the Fermilab BNB target is a favorable location for a CENNS experiment.

Potential of CCDs for the study of sterile neutrino oscillations via Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Elastic Scattering
Marisol Chávez Estrada

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2017

We study the potential of a detector based on CCD sensors (CONNIE experiment) to study neutrino oscillations to sterile states using reactor neutrinos. We calculate the number of events expected in a 1 kg detector and determine the sensitivity to oscillations νe → νs in the Δm 2 41 vs. sin 2 θes parameter space for various exposures. The sensitivity is compared with the regions excluded by the Daya Bay experiment under the assumption θ24 = θ34 = 0. This work was carried out independently of the CONNIE Collaboration using published information, and its results are not official.

Sailing the CE$\nu$NS Seas of Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions with the Coherent CAPTAIN Mills Experiment
eli welch

2021

We study future coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) modifications from a variety of possible models at the Coherent CAPTAIN Mills (CCM) experiment at Los Alamos. We show that large regions of Non-Standard Neutrino Interaction (NSI) parameter space will be excluded rapidly, and that stringent new bounds on the gauge coupling in Z ′ models will also be placed. As a result, CCM will be able to rule out LMA-D solutions for a large class of models with MeV-scale mediators. ∗Electronic address: shoemaker@vt.edu 1 ar X iv :2 10 3. 08 40 1v 1 [ he pph ] 1 5 M ar 2 02 1

Probing new physics with coherent neutrino scattering off nuclei
Juan Barranco

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005

The possibility off measuring for the first time neutrino-nuclei coherent scattering has been recently discussed by several experimental collaborations. It is shown that such a measurement may be very sensitive to non-standard interactions of neutrinos with quarks and might set better constraints than those coming from future neutrino factory experiments. We also comment on other types of new physics tests, such as extra heavy neutral gauge bosons, where the sensitivity to some models is slightly better than the Tevatron constraint and, therefore, could give complementary bounds.

High energy photon-neutrino elastic scattering
Wayne Repko

Physical Review D, 2001

The one-loop helicity amplitudes for the elastic scattering process γν → γν in the Standard Model are computed at high center of mass energies. A general decomposition of the amplitudes is utilized to investigate the validity of some of the key features of our results. In the center of mass, where √ s = 2ω, the cross section grows roughly as ω 6 to near the threshold for W -boson production, √ s = mW . Although suppressed at low energies, we find that the elastic cross section exceeds the cross section for γν → γγν when √ s > 13 GeV. We demonstrate that the scattered photons are circularly polarized and the net value of the polarization is non-zero. Astrophysical implications of high energy photon-neutrino scattering are discussed.

Search for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering at a nuclear reactor with CONNIE 2019 data
Philipe Mota

2021

The Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE) is taking data at the Angra 2 nuclear reactor with the aim of detecting the coherent elastic scattering of reactor antineutrinos with silicon nuclei using charge-coupled devices (CCDs). In 2019 the experiment operated with a hardware binning applied to the readout stage, leading to lower levels of readout noise and improving the detection threshold down to 50 eV. The results of the analysis of 2019 data are reported here, corresponding to the detector array of 8 CCDs with a fiducial mass of 36.2 g and a total exposure of 2.2 kg-days. The difference between the reactor-on and reactor-off spectra shows no excess at low energies and yields upper limits at 95% confidence level for the neutrino interaction rates. In the lowest-energy range, 50− 180 eV, the expected limit stands at 34 (39) times the standard model prediction, while the observed limit is 66 (75) times the standard model prediction with Sarkis (Chavarria) quenchi...

Relativistic models for quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering
Jan Ryckebusch

2011

We present quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus cross sections in the energy range from 150 MeV up to 5 GeV for the target nuclei 12 C and 56 Fe. A relativistic description of the nuclear dynamics and the neutrino-nucleus coupling is adopted. For the treatment of final-state interactions (FSI) we rely on two frameworks succesfully applied to exclusive electron-nucleus scattering: a relativistic optical potential and a relativistic multiple-scattering Glauber approximation. At lower energies, the optical-potential approach is considered to be the optimum choice, whereas at high energies a Glauber approach is more natural. Comparing the results of both calculations, it is found that the Glauber approach yields valid results down to the remarkably small nucleon kinetic energies of 200 MeV. We argue that the nuclear transparencies extracted from A(e, e ′ p) measurements can be used to obtain realistic estimates of the effect of FSI mechanisms on quasi-elastic neutrinonucleus cross sections. We present two independent relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation (RPWIA) calculations of quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus cross sections. They agree at the percent level, showing the reliability of the numerical techniques adopted and providing benchmark RPWIA results.

COHERENT Collaboration data release from the first observation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering
David Reyna

arXiv: Nuclear Experiment, 2018

This release includes data and information necessary to perform independent analyses of the COHERENT result presented in Akimov et al., arXiv:1708.01294 [nucl-ex]. Data is shared in a binned, text-based format, including both "signal" and "background" regions, so that counts and associated uncertainties can be quantitatively calculated for the purpose of separate analyses. This document describes the included information and its format, offering some guidance on use of the data. Accompanying code examples show basic interaction with the data using Python.

First Detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering on an Argon Target
David Reyna

2020

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) was first proposed in 1974 but eluded detection for 40 years. The COHERENT collaboration made the first observation of CEvNS at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) with a 14.6 kg CsI[Na] detector. One of the physics goals of the COHERENT experiment is to test the square of the neutron number dependence of the CEvNS cross section predicted in the Standard Model by observing CEvNS in multiple nuclei. To that end, the ~24 kg CENNS-10 liquid argon detector was deployed at the low-background Neutrino Alley at the SNS in early 2017. The detector was upgraded to allow for sensitivity to CEvNS in mid-2017. We analyzed 1.5 years of data taken after this upgrade to provide the first detection of CEvNS on an argon nucleus at >3 sigma significance. The measured CEvNS cross section of (2.3 +/- 0.7) x 10^-39 cm^2, averaged over the incident neutrino flux, is consistent with the Standard Model prediction. This re...

Inverse beta decay and coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering – a comparison
Maitland Bowen

2019

Many neutrino experiments involving low-energy neutrinos rely on inverse beta decay (IBD), including those studying neutrino oscillations at nuclear reactors, and for applications in reactor monitoring and the detection of neutrinos emitted from spent nuclear fuel. IBD reactions can occur only for electron antineutrinos with energy above a threshold of 1.806 MeV. Below this threshold, the signature of neutrinos is accessible via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS), a threshold-less reaction. CEνNS was observed for the first time in 2017 at 6.7σ confidence level after forty years of experimentation, albeit with neutrinos of about 10 times larger energy than those from reactors. Here we assume also that neutrinos from reactors and other MeV-sources eventually will be detected using CEνNS. In this paper, we use neutrino fluxes measured from reactors and their cross sections to compute the energy spectra of U, U, Pu, and Pu, and determine and compare neutrino detection ...
