“…The COHERENT experiment has already taken advantage of this beam [2,3] with detectors deployed 16-25 m from the source in "Neutrino Alley", an underground corridor parallel to the proton beam, with substantial shielding reducing beam-related neutron flux and 8 meters-water-equivalent overburden. COHERENT is pursuing multiple physics goals with its suite of detectors [1] at the FTS. [4].…”

“…We highlight briefly here multiple motivations for exploitation of the SNS FTS and STS neutrinos [8]. Some of these are described in COHERENT's white paper [1], and so are only touched on briefly here, but others go beyond the scope of COHERENT in Neutrino Alley. CEvNS is the process in which a neutral-current (NC) neutrino interaction results in the recoil of the nucleus as a whole [9,10].…”

“…Solar neutrinos, which have energies up to about 15 MeV, are an interesting physics target for DUNE [27], and knowledge of the CC ν 40 e Ar cross section will enable interpretation of that signal also. Measurement of inelastic neutrino-nucleus cross sections is also of intrinsic interest for study of the weak interaction and for nuclear structure physics [1].…”

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) First Target Station (FTS), used by the COHERENT experiment, provides an intense and extremely highquality source of pulsed stopped-pion neutrinos, with energies up to about 50 MeV. Upgrades to the SNS are planned, including a Second Target Station (STS), which will approximately double the expected neutrino flux while maintaining quality similar to the FTS source. Furthermore, additional space for ten-tonne scale detectors may be available. We describe here exciting opportunities for neutrino physics, other particle and nuclear physics, and detector development using the FTS and STS neutrino sources.

Directional detection of dark matter using solid-state quantum sensing

Next-generation dark matter (DM) detectors searching for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) will be sensitive to coherent scattering from solar neutrinos, demanding an efficient background-signal discrimination tool. Directional detectors improve sensitivity to WIMP DM despite the irreducible neutrino background. Wide-bandgap semiconductors offer a path to directional detection in a high-density target material. A detector of this type operates in a hybrid mode. The WIMP or neutrino-induced nuclear recoil is detected using real-time charge, phonon, or photon collection. The directional signal, however, is imprinted as a durable sub-micron damage track in the lattice structure. This directional signal can be read out by a variety of atomic physics techniques, from point defect quantum sensing to x-ray microscopy. In this Review, we present the detector principle as well as the status of the experimental techniques required for directional readout of nuclear recoil tracks. Specifically, we focus on diamond as a target material; it is both a leading platform for emerging quantum technologies and a promising component of next-generation semiconductor electronics. Based on the development and demonstration of directional readout in diamond over the next decade, a future WIMP detector will leverage or motivate advances in multiple disciplines toward precision dark matter and neutrino physics.
