CONUS experiment

The CONUS (COherent Neutrino nUcleus Scattering) experiment is a research project at the commercial nuclear power plant in Brokdorf, Germany (see Figure 1). The CONUS project is sponsored by the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik and Preussen Elektra GmbH.

The CONUS project is searching for the fundamental process of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. The primary goal is to confirm the existence of this process and to use this interaction type to investigate further neutrino properties within and beyond the standard model of elementary particle physics.
