Observation of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering by COHERENT (1801.05546v1)
Published 17 Jan 2018 in hep-ex, astro-ph.SR, hep-ph, nucl-ex, and physics.ins-det
Abstract: The COHERENT collaboration measured coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) for the first time at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, using a CsI[Na] detector. Here we discuss the nature of the CEvNS process, physics motivations, and experimental considerations for measuring CEvNS. We describe the CsI[Na] measurement, along with status and future of COHERENT.
