Gaseous detectors for neutrino physics at the European Spallation Source
The recent detection of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEnNS) opens the possi- bility of using neutrinos to explore physics beyond the Standard Model deploying small detectors. However, the CEnNS process generates signals at the few keV level, requiring very sensitive detection technologies. The European Spallation Source (ESS) has been identified as an optimal source of low energy neutrinos offering an opportunity to explore at depth the physics of CEnNS, with large discovery potential. In this project, I propose to apply the high-pressure noble gas TPC technology to the detection of the CEnNS process at the ESS. This will require the detection techniques sensitive to…
