“…The COH-Ar-750 detector will record ∼ 340 ν e charged-current and ∼ 100 neutral-current interactions of all flavors each SNS year, calculated by the MARLEY event generator [159]. This would yield a ∼ 5% measurement of the flux-averaged charged-current cross section, which would refine DUNE's understanding of its low-energy physics reach.…”

The COHERENT experiment located in Neutrino Alley at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has made the world's first two measurements of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS), on CsI and argon, using neutrinos produced at the SNS. The COHERENT collaboration continues to pursue CEvNS measurements on various targets as well as additional studies of inelastic neutrino-nucleus interactions, searches for accelerator-produced dark matter (DM) and physics beyond the Standard Model, using the uniquely high-quality and high-intensity neutrino source available at the SNS. This white paper describes primarily COHERENT's ongoing and near-future program at the SNS First Target Station (FTS). Opportunities enabled by the SNS Second Target Station (STS) for the study of neutrino physics and development of novel detector technologies are elaborated in a separate white paper.

“…CC and NC interactions will frequently appear as a cluster of nearby low-energy hits, due to isotropic de-excitation photons when the remnant nucleus is left in an excited state [12]. This background is modeled using the MARLEY generator [57] to simulate CC events, we find that with an energy threshold of 75 keV, 80% of these events can be rejected using the coincident emission of photons. In contrast, single electrons produced via elastic scattering will typically produce a signal-like single-site event, with mmscale track lengths depositing energy on a single anode channel and minimal associated bremsstrahlung activity.…”

We propose the operation of LEvEL, the Low-Energy Neutrino Experiment at the LHC, a neutrino detector near the Large Hadron Collider Beam Dump. Such a detector is capable of exploring an intense, low-energy neutrino flux and can measure neutrino cross sections that have previously never been observed. These cross sections can inform other future neutrino experiments, such as those aiming to observe neutrinos from supernovae, allowing such measurements to accomplish their fundamental physics goals. We perform detailed simulations to determine neutrino production at the LHC beam dump, as well as neutron and muon backgrounds. Measurements at a few to ten percent precision of neutrino-argon charged current and neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering cross sections are attainable with 100 ton-year and 1 ton-year exposures at LEvEL, respectively, concurrent with the operation of the High Luminosity LHC. We also estimate signal and backgrounds for an experiment exploiting the forward direction of the LHC beam dump, which could measure neutrinos above 100 GeV.
