abstract

The CONUS+ collaboration has reported their first observation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS). The experiment uses reactor electron antineutrinos and germanium detectors with recoil thresholds as low as $160~\mathrm{eV_\text{ee}}$. With an exposure of $327$ kg $\times$ d, the measurement was made with a statistical significance of $3.7 \sigma$. We explore several physics implications of this observation, both within the standard model and in the context of new physics. We focus on a determination of the weak mixing angle, nonstandard and generalized neutrino interactions both with heavy and light mediators, neutrino magnetic moments, and the up-scattering of neutrinos into sterile fermions through the sterile dipole portal and new mediators. Our results highlight the role of reactor-based \cevns~experiments in probing a vast array of neutrino properties and new physics models.

  1. Searches for Light Dark Matter and Evidence of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering of Solar Neutrinos with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment

    hep-ex 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0

    LZ's new 5.7-tonne-year search reports a 4.5σ hint of solar 8B neutrino CEνNS and world-leading dark matter limits down to 5 GeV/c².

  2. The X17 Existence Hinted at by Nuclear Reactor Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Reactor neutrino CEvNS data corroborates the X17 particle by constraining its neutrino and nuclear couplings to a unique region when combined with other neutrino measurements.

  3. Prospect of the NUCLEUS Experiment at Chooz for Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering and New Physics Searches

    hep-ex 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Assuming the low-energy background can be eliminated, a 7-gram NUCLEUS detector at Chooz is projected to see coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering at 4.7σ in one year and to set competitive bounds on new neutrino interactions.

  4. Testing light and heavy vector mediators with solar CE$\nu$NS measurements

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    Combined solar CEνNS data from XENONnT, PandaX-4T, and LZ yield competitive constraints on vector NSI and light mediators and a weak mixing angle measurement at low momentum transfer.

  5. Probing Light Dark Particles in Neutrino Scattering Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    A dark fermion produced in neutrino scattering could be probed at DUNE's near detector up to cutoff scales near 1 TeV, beyond CHARM II and LEP, while current COHERENT/CONUS+ limits stay below LHC bounds.

  6. Testing lepton non-unitarity with the next generation of Germanium-based CE$\nu$NS reactor experiments

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0

    A future 100-kg Germanium reactor CEνNS experiment could constrain lepton non-unitarity to 1−α11² ≈ 0.005 and, under low-scale seesaw assumptions, probe new-physics scales up to ~2.5 TeV.

  7. New light mediators and the neutrino fog: Implications from XENONnT nuclear recoil data

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0

    Light-mediator couplings are constrained more strongly when they attach to dark matter than to neutrinos, and the neutrinofog in xenon detectors is shifted and deformed under both scenarios.

  8. Refined extraction of electroweak and nuclear parameters from germanium CE$\nu$NS data

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Combined fit of two germanium CEνNS datasets yields refined neutron radius, skin thickness, and sin²θ_W at low Q, presented versus Lindhard quenching variations and benchmarked against Shell Model form factors.

  9. The X17 Existence Hinted at by Nuclear Reactor Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Reactor neutrino data from CONUS+ and Dresden-II combined with COHERENT and IceCube data singles out a region of neutrino and nuclear couplings consistent with the X17 particle.

  10. Generalized Neutrino Interactions: constraints and parametrizations

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Relating two GNI parametrizations shows scalar neutrino-quark interactions are more tightly constrained by COHERENT while tensor interactions are better bounded by deep inelastic scattering.

  11. Searching for generalized neutrino interactions in direct detection experiments with E{\nu}ES

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 4.0

    Direct-detection xenon experiments yield new 90% C.L. constraints on vector, axial, scalar, and tensor generalized neutrino interactions, generally weaker than existing global bounds.
