Extended Data Fig. 6: Alternative predictions.
From: Direct observation of coherent elastic antineutrino–nucleus scattering
Difference between the data in the reactor on phase and the background model normalized to the total detector mass. The blue band shows the predicted signal shape assuming the standard Lindhard model with a quenching factor of k = (0.162 ± 0.004)34. The green and red bands depict the signal predictions for the modified Lindhard model based on ref. 33, using a linear and a cubic function at lower energies respectively. The red vertical lines indicate the energy thresholds of the three detectors used in the analysis. The error bars on the black data points represent uncertainties at a 68% CL (1σ). The additional red data point at 200 eVee indicates the favoured value found in19 with a larger error bar reflecting the 2σ contour also presented in ref. 19.
