This question is similar to: Is a DIY neutrino detector feasible?. The difference between my question, and the old one is that the question is from over 8 years ago. Naturally, some of the answers are outdated and the links to materials they provide are all expired. Additionally, we now have neutrino detectors the size of milk jugs, so now a DIY Neutrino Detector is much more feasible than the answers in the older question indicated. Given this, I ask my questions because I want to know how feasible it is today, and what is required to make it.

I also want to mention that I am looking for something more along the lines of general advice rather than specifically engineering questions. Especially since the questions I am asking are mostly only going to be able to be answered by a physicist, rather than an engineer.*If you see this question and have any level of knowledge on the question for you to be able to edit the questions to make them more specific, by all means please feel free to do so.

How does the COHERENT neutrino detector, detect neutrinos and CEvNS? And why does it work despite its incredibly small size?
Considering that we now have neutrino detectors the size of milk jugs (COHERENT), how might one make their own ('DIY') neutrino detector?
*The following questions serve as order of magnitude requests to give me an idea of how feasible this project that I am very passionate about is. It gives me an idea of how much money I am going to need to request, raise, and apply for grants for.*The following questions serve as order of magnitude requests to give me an idea of how feasible this project that I am very passionate about is.

What might you need if you had a large budget to make it? And what would you need if you had a limited budget?
Are any of the supplies you might need to build your own neutrino detector be cheaper if you made them yourself?
