Testing for coherence and nonstandard neutrino interactions in COHERENT data

We analyze data from the CsI, liquid Ar and Ge detectors of the COHERENT experiment and confirm within <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mn>1.5</a:mn><a:mi>σ</a:mi></a:math> that the measured elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering cross section is proportional to the square of the number of neutrons in the nucleus, as expected for coherent scattering in the standard model. We also show how various degeneracies involving nonstandard neutrino interaction parameters are broken in a combined analysis of the three datasets. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
