Description

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) is the primary and enhanced interaction process for low-energy neutrinos with matter. To precisely study neutrino physics via this process, we are constructing an array of scintillation crystal detectors with a total mass of 300 kg of CsI(Na), named CICENNS. This detector will be installed at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) and make a precise measurement of the CEvNS signal as well as efficient searches for new physics using ~30 MeV neutrinos from pion and muon decays at rest. In this talk, I will present the progress and expected results of the CICENNS experiment.
