Abstract
Using the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering data of the COHERENT experiment, we determine for the first time the average neutron rms radius of $^{133}\textrm{Cs}$ and $^{127}\textrm{I}$. We obtain the practically model-independent value $R_{n}=5.5{}^{+0.9}_{-1.1}\,\textrm{fm}$ using the symmetrized Fermi and Helm form factors. We also point out that the COHERENT data show a $2.3\sigma$ evidence of the nuclear structure suppression of the full coherence.
