Detecting CEvNS and searching for new physics with the CONUS experiment — •Janine Hempfling for the CONUS collaboration — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK), Heidelberg

The CONUS experiment aims to detect coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) in the fully coherent regime at the nuclear power plant of Brokdorf, Germany. This talk will present the experimental setup of the CONUS experiment with its four very low energy threshold germanium detectors within an elaborate shield at 17 m distance from the 3.9 GW thermal power reactor core. A full spectral analysis of Run-1 and Run-2 data of the running experiment yields the current best limit on CEvNS with reactor antineutrinos. Additionally latest results for analyses of physics beyond the standard model will be discussed, including bounds on non-standard neutrino interactions (NSIs) and light scalar and vector mediators.
