Description
The CONUS experiment (COherent elastic NeUtrino nucleus Scattering) aims at coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) with germanium detectors in the Brokdorf Nuclear Power Plant (KBR, Germany). Four 1kg modules were placed 17m from the 3.9GW reactor core, monitoring an energy regime down to sub-keV with a background rate of ~10 per day per keV. Data taking was finished and latest results will be shown. The upgrade, CONUS+, is installed in the Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant (KKL) in Switzerland. The status of the installation and its potential will also be shown.
