Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering Search in the νGeN Experiment

The $$\nu $$ GeN experiment aims to search for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and to study the other rare processes. The experimental setup is located about 12 m from the center of the 3.1 GWth reactor no. 3 of Kalinin NPP providing the antineutrino flux of (3.6–4.4) × 10 $$^{{13}}$$ particles cm–2 s–1. The intense antineutrino flux gives a possibility to detect coherent elastic scattering of reactor antineutrinos on Ge nuclei in the regime of full coherence, as well as to study other properties of neutrinos.
