Sub-keV energy calibration of CONUS+ via 71Ge M-shell neutron activation
E. Sánchez García, Y. Shi, N. Ackermann +11
The CONUS+ experiment has recently reported the first detection of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) of reactor antineutrinos on germanium nuclei and is now ente…
Neutrino mass limits and decaying dark matter: background evolution versus perturbations
Thomas Montandon, Vivian Poulin, Thomas Rink +1
We revisit cosmological neutrino mass bounds when a fraction of dark matter is allowed to decay to massless dark radiation. By compensating the late-time increase in the matter den…
Testing lepton non-unitarity with the next generation of Germanium-based CENS reactor experiments
Salvador Centelles Chuliá, Manfred Lindner, Thomas Rink
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) has been experimentally confirmed using neutrinos from pion decay at rest, solar neutrinos and reactor antineutrinos. Future…

The CONUS Collaboration, N. Ackermann, S. Armbruster +16
The CONUS+ experiment aims to detect coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) of reactor antineutrinos on germanium nuclei in the fully coherent regime, continuing on t…
Light vector bosons and the weak mixing angle in the light of future germanium-based reactor CENS experiments
Manfred Lindner, Thomas Rink, Manibrata Sen
In this work, the sensitivity of future germanium-based reactor neutrino experiments to the weak mixing angle , and to the presence of new light vector bosons is inv…
Pulse shape discrimination for the CONUS experiment in the keV and sub-keV regime
H. Bonet, A. Bonhomme, C. Buck +12
Point-contact p-type high-purity germanium detectors (PPC HPGe) are particularly suited for detection of sub-keV nuclear recoils from coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos or li…
Constraints on pseudo-Dirac neutrinos using high-energy neutrinos from NGC 1068
Thomas Rink, Manibrata Sen
Neutrinos can be pseudo-Dirac in Nature - they can be Majorana fermions while behaving effectively as Dirac fermions. Such scenarios predict active-sterile neutrino oscillations dr…
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering -- First constraints/observations and future potential
Thomas Rink
The detection of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) opens new possibilities for neutrino physics within and beyond the Standard Model. Following the initial dis…
Direct measurement of the ionization quenching factor of nuclear recoils in germanium in the keV energy range
A. Bonhomme, H. Bonet, C. Buck +9
This article reports the measurement of the ionization quenching factor in germanium for nuclear recoil energies between 0.4 and 6.3 keV. Precise knowledge of this factor in…
First upper limits on neutrino electromagnetic properties from the CONUS experiment
H. Bonet, A. Bonhomme, C. Buck +10
We report first constraints on neutrino electromagnetic properties from neutrino-electron scattering using data obtained from the CONUS germanium detectors, i.e. an upper limit on…

Intense fluxes of reactor antineutrinos offer a unique possibility to probe the fully coherent character of elastic neutrino scattering off atomic nuclei. In this regard, detectors…
Leptogenesis and low-energy CP violation in a type-II-dominated left-right seesaw model
Thomas Rink, Werner Rodejohann, Kai Schmitz
We consider leptogenesis in a left-right-symmetric seesaw scenario in which neutrino mass generation and leptogenesis are dominated by the type-II seesaw term. Motivated by grand u…

Minimal Seesaw Model with a Discrete Heavy-Neutrino Exchange Symmetry
Thomas Rink, Kai Schmitz, Tsutomu T. Yanagida
We present a Froggatt-Nielsen flavor model that yields a minimal realization of the type-I seesaw mechanism. This seesaw model is minimal for three reasons: (i) It features only tw…
Perturbed Yukawa Textures in the Minimal Seesaw Model
Thomas Rink, Kai Schmitz
\noindent We revisit the \textit{minimal seesaw model}, i.e., the type-I seesaw mechanism involving only two right-handed neutrinos. % This model represents an important minimal be…
