This thesis describes the experimental work that finally led to a
successful measurement of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus
scattering-a process proposed forty-three years ago. The experiment
was performed at the Spallation Neutron Source facility, sited at
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in Tennessee. Of all known
particles, neutrinos distinguish themselves for being the hardest
to detect, typically requiring large multi-ton devices for the job.
The process measured here involves the difficult detection of very
weak signals arising from nuclear recoils (tiny neutrino-induced
"kicks" to atomic nuclei), but leads to a much larger probability
of neutrino interaction when compared to all other known
mechanisms. As a result of this, "neutrino technologies" using
miniaturized detectors (the author's was handheld and weighed only
14 kg) become a possibility. A large community of researchers plans
to continue studying this process, facilitating an exploration of
fundamental neutrino properties that is presently beyond the
sensitivity of other methods.
