Abstract

Coherent neutrino scattering (CNS) is an unmeasured, well-predicted standard model process observable via low-energy nuclear recoils. The latest generation of dark matter detectors is now achieving the recoil energy thresholds and fiducial masses needed to detect CNS for the first time. We discuss the application of cryogenic phonon-mediated detectors, optimized for low energy thresholds, to the detection of neutrinos from nuclear reactors, decay-at-rest stopped-pion neutrino sources, and megacurie radioactive sources. Research reactors, in particular, offer the most convenient neutrino sources for a first measurement, as envisioned in the Ricochet experiment.
