Description
Cryogenic scintillating calorimeters (CSCs) with transition-edge sensor (TES) readout have demonstrated excellent sensitivity to dark matter–nucleus and neutrino–nucleus scattering. The OνDES project extends this technology to lower energy thresholds, enabling searches for dark matter–electron and neutrino–electron scattering.
In this talk, I will introduce the OνDES project and the theoretical framework developed for neutrino–electron scattering searches with CSCs. I will present preliminary sensitivity projections for probing beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) neutrino interactions and discuss the status of the first experimental prototype currently under development within the COSINUS collaboration.
