Description

After its discovery in 2017, there is a large and growing interest in the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS): experiments are being conceived and funded worldwide to probe neutrinos from a variety of sources and search for non-standard interactions. At the same time, thanks to the large cross-sections the process can achieve, applications for non-proliferation purposes are highly promising.
In this talk I will discuss the physics of CEvNS, review the current experimental efforts and present some possibilities for an INFN involvement in the field.
