Description
In this talk, I will explore the physics potential of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS), a neutral-current process in which a neutrino coherently scatters off an entire nucleus. I will begin by reviewing the key features of CEvNS and summarizing the current experimental landscape, including results from spallation neutron sources, reactor neutrino experiments, and dark matter direct detection facilities. I will then discuss how these measurements have opened up a wide array of physics opportunities, ranging from precision tests of the Standard Model to searches for new physics, with particular emphasis on new interactions with heavy and light mediators.
