Coherent Neutral Current Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering at a Spallation Source; a Valuable Experimental Probe

The coherent contribution of all neutrons in neutrino nucleus scattering due to the neutral current is examined considering the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) as a source of neutrinos. SNS is a prolific pulsed source of electron and muon neutrinos as well as muon antineutrinos.
