Neutrino nucleus coherent elastic scattering is a process involving the neutralcurrent scattering of a neutrino with an entire nucleus. We introduce theexperimental discovery of this process next to a neutron spallation facility anddescribe the prospect for detecting low-energy neutrinos with the NUCLEUScyogenic experiment that will be deployed at the Chooz nuclear power station inFrance.
