Extracting nuclear form factors with coherent neutrino scattering
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering ($\mathrm{CE}\ensuremath{\nu}\mathrm{NS}$) can be used to determine the neutron part of nuclear form factors, unlocking intrinsic properties of nuclear structure. In contrast with other such methods, $\mathrm{CE}\ensuremath{\nu}\mathrm{NS}$ is free from both strong interaction effects and Coulomb distortions. We propose precision measurements of $\mathrm{CE}\ensuremath{\nu}\mathrm{NS}$ with an upcoming accelerator …
