Description

Tracking capabilities for Nuclear Recoils (NRs) from Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) interactions would allow for the measurement of both a NR's energy and direction. This capability would enable an expansive physics program which leverages the kinematics of the neutrino's coherent scattering interaction. This talk will discuss some of the physics applications of NR tracking for CEvNS interactions, and present simulation studies of detector configurations that leverage gaseous TPCs for NR tracking.
