28. From Coherent Scattering to Charged-Current Absorption: Low-Energy Neutrinos as Probes of Weak Nuclear Response

Matteo Cadeddu (INFN)

15/07/2026, 09:00

Low-energy neutrino-nucleus interactions are entering a precision era in which coherent elastic scattering, charged-current absorption, beta decay and electron capture should be treated as complementary probes of weak nuclear dynamics. CEvNS measures the diagonal neutral-current response of the nucleus and provides an approximately flavor-blind handle on the active neutrino flux....

36. Probing Electroweak and Nuclear Structure Parameters with germanium CEνNS Measurements

We exploit the complementary energy ranges of accelerator and reactor CEνNS measurements to perform a combined analysis of COHERENT germanium and CONUS+ data. This synergy enhances sensitivity to key Standard Model and detector-response parameters by reducing degeneracies among electroweak, nuclear, and quenching effects. In particular, the measured recoil spectra allow us to constrain the...

44. Using CEvNS to Detect the Theoretical "Shutdown Curve" of a Naval Reactor

Brianna Ryan (GNOI)

As nuclear-powered submarine technology spreads, it presents a unique safeguards challenge: the construction and operating history of these reactors is classified, and IAEA inspectors are not allowed to board the submarine. One proposed technology that works within these extreme limitations is neutrino detectors. While neutrino detectors can be designed independently of the reactor and can be...

41. Machine learning clustering in CEvNS experiments

For a successful CEvNS detection a low detector noise threshold is crucial to be able to see a signal. The threshold depends factors such as the detector design and performance, as well as the understanding and the suppression of the noise from the electronics chain and outside factors. Small noise spikes and fluctuations can have a significant impact on the sensitivity of the experiment at...
