Collaboration:
The COHERENT Collaboration
P-type point contact germanium detectors (PPCs) are a powerful tool for radiation detection, offering good energy resolution, low noise, and small energy thresholds. The COHERENT Collaboration plans to commission a 15-kg array of high purity, low background PPC detectors to measure coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) at the Spallation Neutron Source. Germanium will contribute an intermediate data point between cesium and argon in the ongoing measurement of the predicted N2 cross section dependence for CEvNS. The superior energy resolution of PPCs will also allow for the precise measurement of the CEvNS recoil spectrum. I discuss efforts to design and construct the array within the collaboration.
