Impact of Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Scattering on Direct Dark Matter Searches based on CaWO$_4$ Crystals

Understand

Atmospheric and solar neutrinos scattering coherently off target nuclei will be an important background source for the next generation of direct dark matter searches.

• In this work we focus on calcium tungstate as target material.
• For comparison with existing works we calculate the neutrino floor indicating which sensitivities can be reached before the neutrino background appears.
• In addition, we investigate the sensitivities of future direct dark matter searches using CRESST-II like detectors.
