RESUMEN
The coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos off nuclei has eluded detection for four decades, even though its predicted cross section is by far the largest of all low-energy neutrino couplings. This mode of interaction offers new opportunities to study neutrino properties and leads to a miniaturization of detector size, with potential technological applications. We observed this process at a 6.7σ confidence level, using a low-background, 14.6-kilogram CsI[Na] scintillator exposed to the neutrino emissions from the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Characteristic signatures in energy and time, predicted by the standard model for this process, were observed in high signal-to-background conditions. Improved constraints on nonstandard neutrino interactions with quarks are derived from this initial data set.
RESUMEN
This study aimed to assess whether introducing the issue of first time oral hormonal contraception by nurses could expand the role of the family planning nurse and improve the service to the client group. Nurse acceptability of, and adherence to, the protocol were examined. Results indicate that with appropriate training the first time issue of oral hormonal contraception is a valuable skill in enhancing the nurses' role, reduces waiting time for clients and is acceptable to clients.
