Discovery potential of multi-ton xenon detectors in neutrino electromagnetic properties

Understand

Next-generation xenon detectors with multi-ton-year exposure are powerful direct probes of dark matter candidates, in particular the favorite weakly-interacting massive particles.

• Coupled with the features of low thresholds and backgrounds, they are also excellent telescopes of solar neutrinos.
• In this paper, we study the discovery potential of ton-scale xenon detectors in electromagnetic moments of solar neutrinos.
• Relevant neutrino-atom scattering processes are calculated by applying a state-of-the-arts atomic many-body method--relativistic random phase approximation (RRPA).
