“…In particular, the probability of inducing a second pion-generating nuclear interaction per initial proton is predicted to climb rapidly with proton energy, as does double-pion production per interaction, and the ratio of pion decays to captures [37]. A comparison of theoretical predictions with experimental data for a number of neutrino cross section measurements assigns a modest uncertainty to these DAR neutrino production calculations, validating them [40].…”

The European Spallation Source (ESS), presently well on its way to completion, will soon provide the most intense neutron beams for multi-disciplinary science. Fortuitously, it will also generate the largest pulsed neutrino flux suitable for the detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEνNS), a process recently measured for the first time at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source. We describe innovative detector technologies maximally able to profit from the order-ofmagnitude increase in neutrino flux provided by the ESS, along with their sensitivity to a rich particle physics phenomenology accessible through high-statistics, precision CEνNS measurements.

“…The second possibility of measuring neutrino-nucleus cross sections is at stopped pion-muon neutrino facilities, existing (BooNe experiment, etc.) [26] or expected to be built near spallation neutron sources (ORLaND experiment, European Spallation Source) [27][28][29] (see also Ref. [15]).…”

Differential, total, and cumulative cross section calculations for neutral current neutrino scattering on 128,130 Te isotopes are performed in the context of the quasiparticle random phase approximation by utilizing realistic twonucleon forces. These isotopes are the main contents of detectors of ongoing experiments with multiple neutrino physics goals (COBRA and CUORE at Gran Sasso), including potential low-energy astrophysical neutrino (solar, supernova, geoneutrinos) detection. The incoming neutrino energy range adopted in our calculations (ε ν 100 MeV) covers the low-energy β-beam neutrinos and the pion-muon stopped neutrino beams existing or planned to be conducted at future neutron spallation sources. The aim of these facilities is to measure neutrino-nucleus cross sections at low and intermediate neutrino energies with the hope of shedding light on open problems in neutrino-induced reactions on nuclei and neutrino astrophysics. Such probes motivate theoretical studies on weak responses of various nuclear systems; thus the evaluated cross sections may be useful in this direction. V. TSAKSTARA AND T. S.

“…The above neutrino fluxes are of the same order with those of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at OR-LaND, Oak Ridge [44][45][46]. We mention that the CO-HERENT experiment at Oak Ridge, with a 14.57 kg of CsI scintillator detector, by using an SNS ν µ neutrino flux (coming from π-decay at rest) as high as Φ COH ν = 1.7 × 10 11 ν µ /cm 2 s, has measured 142 CEvNS events within a period of 308.1 live days (at a distance of L = 19.3 m from the source) [8].…”

“…Even though many groups world-wide are now studying the difficult low-energy nuclear recoil signature, only a few sources, in specific nuclear reactors and spallation neutron sources yield the required neutrino-energy beams in adequate quantities for such measurements [44][45][46]. In our present theoretical work, we do not address the improved constraints derived from this dataset on nonstandard neutrino interactions with quarks (for a comprehensive discussion on this issue the reader is referred e.g.…”

Neutrino-nucleus reactions cross sections, obtained for neutrino energies in the range εν ≤ 100 − 120 MeV (low-and intermediate-energy range), which refer to promising neutrino detection targets of current terrestrial neutrino experiments, are presented and discussed. At first, we evaluated original cross sections for elastic scattering of neutrinos produced from various astrophysical and laboratory neutrino sources with the most abundant Cd isotopes 112 Cd, 114 Cd and 116 Cd. These isotopes constitute the main material of the COBRA detector aiming to search for neutrinoless double beta decay events and neutrino-nucleus scattering events at the Gran Sasso laboratory (LNGS). The coherent ν-nucleus reaction channel addressed with emphasis here, dominates the neutral current ν-nucleus scattering, events of which have only recently been observed for a first time in the COHERENT experiment at Oak Ridge. Subsequently, simulated ν-signals expected to be recorded at Cd detectors are derived through the application of modern simulation techniques and employment of reliable neutrino distributions of astrophysical ν-sources (as the solar, supernova and Earth neutrinos), as well as laboratory neutrinos (like the reactor neutrinos, the neutrinos produced from pion-muon decay at rest and the β-beam neutrinos produced from the acceleration of radioactive isotopes at storage rings as e.g. at CERN).
