Final CONUS results on coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering at the Brokdorf reactor (2401.07684v3)

Published 15 Jan 2024 in hep-ex

Abstract: The Conus experiment studies coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering in four 1 kg germanium spectrometers. Low ionization energy thresholds of 210 eV were achieved. The detectors were operated inside an optimized shield at the Brokdorf nuclear power plant which provided a reactor antineutrino flux of up to 2.3$\cdot$10${13}$\,cm${-2}$s${-1}$. In the final phase of data collection at this site, the constraints on the neutrino interaction rate were improved by an order of magnitude as compared to the previous Conus analysis. The new limit of less than 0.34 signal events kg${-1}$\,d${-1}$ is within a factor 2 of the rate predicted by the standard model. This constraint is discussed in the context of conflicting measurements and results from another reactor neutrino experiment using similar technology.
