Description
The COHERENT experiment goals are to detect and study elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS). This process is predicted by Standard Model but it has never been observed experimentally because of very low energy of recoil nucleus. COHERENT is using different detector technologies: germanium detector, CsI[Na] and NaI scintillator crystals and single phase liquid Ar detector. All the detector setups placement is a basement of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). A description of the COHERENT experiment program and technologies used will be presented.
