Abstract:
Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) is a well-understood Standard Model (SM) process with an enhanced cross section for MeV neutrinos, making it a sensitive probe to beyond-SM physics. A deviation from the prediction indicates beyond-SM physics, such as non-standard interactions, while agreement would further increase our confidence in the SM. The large cross-section also makes CEvNS a promising method of reactor monitoring. The RELICS (REactor neutrino LIquid xenon Coherent Scattering) experiment aims to measure CEvNS using reactor neutrinos with a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe TPC). This technology features low threshold, ultra-low backgrounds, and large exposure, which will not only enable measurement of CEvNS but also exploration of new physics signals from reactors. In this talk, I will give an overview of the experiment, present its current status, and discuss its scientific potential.
