Kate Scholberg

TL;DR
The COHERENT collaboration successfully observed coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) for the first time, demonstrating a new way to study neutrino interactions using a CsI[Na] detector at Oak Ridge.
Contribution
This work reports the first experimental observation of CEvNS, confirming a key prediction of the Standard Model with a novel detector setup.
Findings
First observation of CEvNS
Validation of theoretical predictions
Potential for new neutrino physics studies
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.
