Description
The ν̅e-e- elastic scattering cross-section was measured with a CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal array having a total mass of 187 kg. The detector was exposed to an average reactor neutrino flux of 6.4 × 1012 cm-2s-1 at the Kuo-Sheng Nuclear Power Station in Taiwan.
The experimental design, conceptual merits,detector hardware, data analysis and background understanding of the experiment will be discussed. We will present final resuls with 29882/7369 kg-days of Reactor ON/OFF data, on the cross-section and the standard electroweak parameters sin2W and (gV,gA) measurements, the test on charged-current neutral-neutral interference, as well as limits on neutrino magnetic moments and charge radius squared [1].
We will also present constraints on non-standard interactions (NSI) of neutrino and Unparticle Physics (UP) in ν̅e-e- interaction channel [2] based on this data set as well as our previous data sets with ULE-HP Ge detectors which were used for the measurements of neutrino magnetic moment [3] and Dark Matter, WIMP searches [4].
