“…According to [23], |f (q)| ≈ 1, within an uncertainty of a few percent. This is applicable for Eν e < 50 MeV, where the momentum transfer (q 2 ) is small enough such that q 2 R 2 < 1, where R is the radius of the nucleus [4]. At small momentum transfers, the individual nucleon amplitudes are in phase and add coherently, so that the cross section increases by a factor of approximately N 2 .…”

“…Detector technology has not met yet the extreme requirements on detector mass or on the energy threshold. Nevertheless, in recent times, interest from low energy neutrino physics has been increasing, mainly for verifying predictions of the standard model (SM), and exploring the possibilities of new physics beyond the SM at very small energy scales [4]. In astrophysics, for example, the understanding of MeVneutrino physics has great relevance for energy transport in supernovas and it is related to the ongoing effort to develop new supernova detectors.…”

Charge coupled devices for detection of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering

This article details the potential for using Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) to detect low-energy neutrinos through their coherent scattering with nuclei. The detection of neutrinos through this standard model process has not been accessible because of the small energy deposited in such interactions with the detector nuclei. Typical particle detectors have thresholds of a few keV, and most of the energy deposition expected from coherent scattering is well below this level. The devices we discuss can be operated at a threshold of approximately 30 eV, making them ideal for observing this signal. For example, the number of coherent scattering events expected on a 52 gram CCD array located next to a power nuclear reactor is estimated to be near to 626 events/year. The results of our study show that detection at a confidence level of 99% can be reached within three months for this kind of detector array.

“…Although the CEvNS cross section is well predicted, it is highly desirable to measure it in order to determine detector response. Given that the CEvNS cross section is cleanly predicted in the standard model, the measurement of the cross section in itself also serves as a standard model test [25]. Expected recoil spectra from a supernova burst in various targets used for low-energy threshold DM WIMP detector.…”

New limits on the weak mixing angle and on the electron neutrino effective charge radius in the low energy regime, below 100 MeV, are obtained from a combined fit of all electron-(anti)neutrino electron elastic scattering measurements. We have included the recent TEXONO measurement with a CsI (Tl) detector. Only statistical error of this measurement has been taken into account. Weak mixing angle is found to be sin 2 θW = 0.255 +0.022 −0.023 . The electron neutrino effective charge radius squared is bounded to be r 2 νe = (0.9 +0.9 −1.0 ) × 10 −32 cm 2 . The sensitivity of future low energy neutrino experiments to nonstandard interactions of neutrinos with quarks is also discussed.
