Producing a new fermion in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering: from neutrino mass to dark matter

Abstract We consider the production of a new MeV-scale fermion in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. The effect on the measurable nucleon recoil spectrum is calculated. Assuming that the new fermion couples to neutrinos and quarks via a singlet scalar, we set limits on its mass and coupli...
