abstract
We propose a novel strategy to search for new physics in timing spectra, envisioning the situation in which a new particle comes from the decay of its heavier partner with a finite particle width. The timing distribution of events induced by the dark matter particle scattering at the detector may populate in a relatively narrow range, forming a "resonance-like" shape. Due to this structural feature, the signal may be isolated from the backgrounds, in particular when the backgrounds are uniformly distributed in energy and time. For proof of the principle, we investigate the discovery potential for dark matter from the decay of a dark photon in the COHERENT experiment, and show the exciting prospects for exploring the associated parameter space with this experiment. We analyze the existing CsI detector data with a timing cut and an energy cut, and find, for the first time, an excess in the timing distribution which can be explained by such dark matter. We compare the sensitivity to the kinetic mixing parameter ($\epsilon$) for current and future COHERENT experiments with the projected limits from LDMX and DUNE.

General COHERENT Constraints on Neutrino Non-Standard Interactions
COHERENT data with all ten NC-NSI parameters free yield weak individual limits but strong bounds on up-down averages, and exclude LMA-Dark at 5.6σ (up-only) and 7.2σ (down-only) NSI.

Searches for heavy neutral lepton decays at spallation neutron sources
Current and future COHERENT detectors at the SNS can set competitive limits on HNL–neutrino mixings through pion/muon DAR production and in-detector e+e− decays, with muon mixing offering the strongest near-term reach.

Probing Light Dark Particles in Neutrino Scattering Experiments
A dark fermion produced in neutrino scattering could be probed at DUNE's near detector up to cutoff scales near 1 TeV, beyond CHARM II and LEP, while current COHERENT/CONUS+ limits stay below LHC bounds.

Reactor antineutrinos CE$\nu$NS on germanium: CONUS+ and TEXONO as a new gateway to SM and BSM physics
CONUS+ and TEXONO reactor CEνNS data are consistent with the Standard Model and yield the most stringent limit on the electron neutrino millicharge through neutrino-electron scattering.

Neutrino, Electroweak and Nuclear Physics from COHERENT Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering with a New Quenching Factor
A reanalysis of COHERENT scattering data with a new quenching factor tightens the neutron radius and weak angle measurements and produces the first lab limits on the muon neutrino charge and the muon-tau transition charge.
