| contents | We study the potential of a set of future detectors, proposed to be located at the European Spallation Source (ESS), to probe neutrino millicharges through coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. In particular, we focus on detectors with similar characteristics as those that are under development for operation at the ESS, including detection technologies based on cesium iodine, germanium, and noble gases. Under the considered conditions, we show that the Ge detector, with a lighter nuclear target mass with respect to CsI and to a noble gas like Xe, is more efficient to constrain neutrino millicharges, reaching a sensitivity of $\sim 10^{-9}e$ for diagonal neutrino millicharges, and $\sim 10^{-8}e$ for the transition ones. In addition, we study the effects of including electron scattering processes for the CsI detector, achieving an expected sensitivity of $\sim 10^{-10} e$ for the diagonal millicharges. |
