Physics Reach Of A Low Threshold Scintillating Argon Bubble Chamber In Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering Reactor Experiments
PHYSICAL REVIEW D(2021)
摘要
The physics reach of a low threshold (100 eV) scintillating argon bubble chamber sensitive to coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE nu NS) from reactor neutrinos is studied. The sensitivity to the weak mixing angle, neutrino magnetic moment, and a light Z' gauge boson mediator are analyzed. A Monte Carlo simulation of the backgrounds is performed to assess their contribution to the signal. The analysis shows that world-leading sensitivities are achieved with a one-year exposure for a 10 kg chamber at 3 m from a 1 MWth research reactor or a 100 kg chamber at 30 m from a 2000 MWth power reactor. Such a detector has the potential to become the leading technology to study CE.NS using nuclear reactors.
