Neutrinos are elementary particles that interact only very weakly with matter. Neutrino experiments are, therefore, usually big, with masses in the multi-tonne range. The thresholdless interaction of coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos…

The nuGeN experiment searches for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant. A 1.41-kg high-purity low-threshold germanium detector surrounded by active and passive shielding is deployed at the…

While the mass differences between neutrino mass states are known, their absolute masses and mass hierarchy have not yet been determined. Determining the mass of neutrinos provides access to physics beyond the Standard Model and the…

Sterile neutrinos in the mass range of a few keV are candidates for both cold and warm dark matter. An ad-mixture of a heavy neutrino mass eigenstate to the electron neutrino would result in a minuscule distortion - a 'kink' - in a…
