Description

In this talk, I will present a new avenue for testing new physics with neutrinos - the observation of (solar) neutrino scattering in dark matter direct detection experiments. Recently, coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) has been detected for the first time from astrophysical neutrinos, as opposed to reactors or spallation sources. Simultaneously, there are first hints for complementary measurements of solar neutrinos via elastic neutrino-electron scattering. I will review the implications of this novel signal at dark matter experiments both for neutrino physics within and beyond the Standard Model.
