Neutrino Interactions in XENONnT

ORAL

Abstract

The XENONnT experiment is a dual-phase xenon Time Projection Chamber. Beyond its primary science goal to detect WIMP dark matter, XENONnT will be highly sensitive to a variety of rare neutrino processes. With a few hundred kilograms of Xenon-136 in the fiducial volume, we will search for hints of neutrinoless double beta decay. Through coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, XENONnT will measure solar Boron-8 neutrinos and potentially neutrinos from the next galactic supernova. A significant number of solar pp neutrino interactions are expected to give electronic recoil signatures near the energy range where XENON1T observed an excess of events. In this talk, I will give an overview of the impressive capability of the XENONnT detector to observe rare neutrino phenomena.
