The inner workings of the detector used to measure elastic neutrino nuclear scattering at the SNS in the COHERENT experiment.
Particle physicists at the Spallation Neutron Source recently made the first observation of the elusive neutrino's most common interaction with matter with a pint-sized detector. This first observation of coherent elastic neutrino nuclear scattering reported in the journal Science provides a new tool for particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics.
