We propose a new possibility of using the coherently enhanced neutrino pair emission to probe light-mediator interactions between electron and neutrinos. With typical momentum transfer at the atomic eV) scale, this process is extremely sensitive for the mediator mass range
) eV. The sensitivity on the product of couplings with electron (
or
) and neutrinos (
or
) can touch down to
for a scalar mediator and
for a vector one, with orders of improvement from the existing constraints.
