  We propose to extract the value of the effective neutrino charge radius from
the coherent scattering of a neutrino against a heavy nucleus. In such an
experiment the relevant quantity to measure is the kinetic energy distribution
of the recoiling nucleus, which, in turn, may be directly related to the shift
in the value of the effective weak mixing angle produced by the neutrino charge
radius. This type of experiment has been proposed in order to observe the
coherent elastic neutrino-nuclear scattering for the first time. If interpreted
in the way suggested in this work, such an experiment would constitute the
first terrestrial attempt to measure this intrinsic electromagnetic property of
the neutrino.
