Abstract
The CONNIE Experiment (Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Interaction Experiment) is currently collecting reactor neutrino data to search for the undiscovered standard model process of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering (CNNS). The detector is composed of a silicon target of thick, fully-depleted, low-noise CCD detectors. Results from data collected in 2015 indicate backgrounds are controlled, and allow an estimate of sensitivity to be presented for a larger scale detector. A 2016 upgrade, adding additional target mass, and reducing readout noise, has been performed, increasing the total yield of signal events by a factor of 30, and already yielding science-quality data. Low-energy nuclear calibrations have been performed, enabling calibration down to the device energy threshold. An estimate of the sensitivity expected for measuring the coherent neutrino process is presented. Future prospects with improved detector energy thresholds are estimated.
