Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) is an only recently
observable weak interaction with a broad spectrum of applications. My research
focuses on the next generation of CEvNS experiments, and the measurements
required to understand them, at the main terrestrial sources of neutrinos:
spallation facilities and nuclear reactors. Specifically, I'll discuss the
promising feasibility of using cryogenic pure CsI for precision measurements
of CEvNS at the up-and-coming European Spallation Source. I'll also talk about
our most recent results with a Ge detector regarding the observation of much
lower energy CEvNS interactions at the Dresden Generating Station and the next
steps for that assembly. Throughout it all, I'll highlight the importance of
understanding the response of these detectors to low-energy nuclear recoils in
order to properly interpret the data.
