the planned dune experiment will have excellent sensitivity to the vector and axial couplings of the electron to the z boson via precision measurements of neutrino-electron scattering. we investigate the sensitivity of dune-prism, a movable near detector in the direction perpendicular to the beam line, and find that it...
measuring the weak mixing angle in the dune near-detector complex
short distance reactor antineutrino experiments measure an antineutrino spectrum a few percent lower than expected from theoretical predictions. in this work we study the potential of low energy threshold reactor experiments in the context of a light sterile neutrino signal. we discuss the perspectives of the recently ...
the reactor antineutrino anomaly and low energy threshold neutrino experiments
we propose an experimental setup to observe coherent elastic neutrino-atom scattering (ce ν as ) using electron antineutrinos from tritium decay and a liquid helium target. in this scattering process with the whole atom, that has not been observed so far, the electrons tend to screen the weak charge of the nucleus as s...
potentialities of a low-energy detector based on 4he evaporation to observe atomic effects in coherent neutrino scattering and physics perspectives
point-contact p-type high-purity germanium detectors (ppc hpge) are particularly suited for detection of sub-kev nuclear recoils from coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos or light dark matter particles. while these particles are expected to interact homogeneously in the entire detector volume, specific classes of e...
