Testing coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering N dependence
Abstract
Despite its elusive character, coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) detection is evolving as a precision measurement from different neutrino measurements. In this note we show how CEvNS experiments using the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) are robust measurements that enter into a precision era. Despite the interplay of nuclear and elementary particle physics, we demonstrate that CEvNS current measurements are accurately described by using only one extra parameter, the number of neutrons, N. By making this test, we illustrate that current CEvNS are precise enough to reconstruct the number of neutrons in the nuclear target. At the same time, determining the number of nucleons in the target material can be used as a benchmark for the precision and accuracy of this kind of detectors.
