The idea of measuring the coherent elastic nuclear scattering of neutrinos emitted by a high intensity 51Cr radioactive source is investigated. To produce the high intensity source, the radioactive material used in the GALLEX experiment (36 kg of Chromium 38.6% enriched in 50Cr) could be reactivated to an intensity of few MCi. The advantages of...

Searches for new physics in the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering require a precise knowledge of the neutrino flux and energy spectrum. In this paper we investigate the feasibility and the performance of an experiment based on a Cr-51 source, whose neutrino spectrum is known and whose activity can be heat-monitored at few permil...

BULLKID is an R&D project on a cryogenic particle detector to search for rare low-energy processes such as low-mass dark matter and neutrino coherent scattering off nuclei. The detector unit we are designing consists in an array of ~ 100 silicon absorbers sensed by phonon-mediated, microwave-multiplexed kinetic inductance detectors, with energy...
