Author and Presenter: Valentina De Romeri
Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the physics potential of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS), a neutral-current process in which a neutrino scatters off an entire nucleus. I will first briefly review the main features of CEvNS and the status of current observations. Then, I will examine how these measurements have enabled a broad range of physics applications, from preci- sion tests of the Standard Model to probes of new physics, with particular relevance to dark matter direct detection experiments.
