COHERENT: First Observation of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering Data

Data from the COHERENT Collaboration associated with the first observation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS), published in Science in 2017. The dataset is intended to enable researchers to extend the study of CEvNS, with future collaboration results planned for similar releases. It was authored by D. Akimov of the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics.

Use Cases

• Validate theoretical models of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering based on the published experimental results.
• Re-analyze the foundational CEvNS observation data for independent verification or extended studies.
• Develop analysis techniques for neutrino detection experiments using the provided code examples and data structure.

Strengths

• Data is directly associated with a landmark scientific publication in Science (DOI: 10.1126/science.aao0990).
• Includes example code and a descriptive accompanying document to aid in data use.
• Represents the first observation of the CEvNS process, providing a foundational dataset for the field.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count, file formats, and data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
