The Cosmic Neutrino Background is a solid prediction of the Standard Model of Cosmology
and Particle Physics. There is plenty of indirect evidence for its existence but so far it escaped
direct detection. I will explain the difficulties in such an endeavor and present some recent ideas
and proposals for it. Interestingly, some of the proposals could act simultaneously as a dark matter
experiment.

The coherent neutrino scattering with nuclei provides a novel way to measure the distribution of neutrons in nuclei. This interaction has been theoretically predicted more than 40 years ago, but the difficulty of measuring the very small nuclear recoil made possible its experimental observation only in 2017 by the COHERENT experiment.
Using the COHERENT data, we are able to determine for...

The detection of coherent-neutrino nucleus scattering opens up new opportunities to probe physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics such as the search for a neutrino magnetic moment or sterile neutrinos. We present a novel cryogenic neutrino experiment at a nuclear power reactor which allows for precision measurements with a miniaturized detector size. With a recent demonstrator we...

More than 40 years after its theoretical description, the process of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) has been observed for the first time by the COHERENT Collaboration, using a 14.6-kg CsI[Na] detector at the Spallation Neutron Source of Oak Ridge National Lab. COHERENT and other groups continue to work towards additional CE$\nu$NS measurements because of the breadth...
