Abstract
We present an overview of recent progress toward the Ricochet coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CE\(\nu\)NS) experiment. The ILL research reactor in Grenoble, France has been selected as the experiment site, after in situ studies of vibration and particle backgrounds. We present background rate estimates specific to that site, along with descriptions of the planned CryoCube and Q-Array detector payloads.
