Exploring CEvNS with the NUCLEUS Experiment — •Raimund Strauss for the NUCLEUS collaboration — Technische Universität München, München, Deutschland

The NUCLEUS experiment aims to the first detection of coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) at a nuclear reactor, exploiting an innovative detection system that consists of a 10g cryogenic detector setup made of CaWO4 and Al2O3 crystals. These target detectors are capable of reaching O(10 eV) energy thresholds, making it possible to measure nuclear recoils induced by CEvNS. The detectors will be surrounded by a twofold system of instrumented cryogenic vetoes, an external passive shielding and a muon veto to improve the identification and discrimination of backgrounds. NUCLEUS has recently demonstrated the successful operation of the neutrinos target detectors in coincidence with the other sub detectors of the experiment in the so called Long Background Run, performed in the shallow underground laboratory UGL located at TUM university in Munich. The experiment is now ready for the relocation to the Chooz-B nuclear power plant in the French Ardennes. This talk will provide an overview of the experiment's current status, focusing on the latest developments and milestones achieved.
