Probing Beyond Standard Model with Coherent Elastic Scattering of Neutrinos
Abstract
This work is to probe the potential of constraining various parameters of physics beyond Standard Model (BSM) using the coherent scattering of neutrinos from reactors, accelerators, and sun. In this work, a discovery potential of ultra-low energy threshold detector and a possibility of probing non-standard neutrino interaction in future direct dark matter detection experiments are presented. We also show the complementarity between different types of coherent neutrino scattering experiments, the current constraints and future sensitivity of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering in kinetic mixing q² form factor scenarios. We also analyze the COHERENT data release with energy and timing information using likelihood analysis in Bayesian framework. We find that neutrino scattering experiments gives notable results in the scenarios listed. And we also find dark matter signals might be hidden inside the released data.
