Description
As the sensitivities of dark matter direct detection experiments improve, they will soon encounter a new source of background, due to coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS). In this talk, I will discuss how the CEvNS rate could vary in certain simplified models of new physics, raising the level of the so-called neutrino floor. I will discuss current constraints on these models, and the implications these could have for direct detection experiments in the near future.
