The Oak Ridge Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is an abundant, pulsed source of pion decay-at-rest neutrinos. The COHERENT collaboration deploys a wide array of detectors in a low-background area 20 to 30 meters from the SNS liquid mercury target. In this talk, I will review the properties of neutrinos, nuclei, and the Standard Model that are probed by our detectors by measuring both coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) as well as inelastic scattering cross sections. I will provide a summary of recent results from the collaboration and discuss new and forthcoming larger-scale detectors planned to continue COHERENT's physics program.
