Ricochet Progress and Status

Abstract

We present an overview of recent progress towards the Ricochet coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering CE$\hat{I}½$NS experiment. The ILL research reactor in Grenoble, France has been selected as the experiment site, after in situ studies of vibration and particle backgrounds. We present background rate estimates specific to that site, along with descriptions of the planned CryoCube and Q-Array detector payloads.
