18 Jan 2012 | | Abstract: | Light sterile neutrinos have been introduced as an explanation for a number
of oscillation signals at $Delta m^2 sim 1$ eV$^2$. Neutrino oscillations at
relatively short baselines provide a probe of these possible new states. This
paper describes an accelerator-based experiment using neutral current coherent
neutrino-nucleus scattering to strictly search for active-to-sterile neutrino
oscillations. This experiment could, thus, definitively establish the existence
of sterile neutrinos and provide constraints on their mixing parameters. A
cyclotron-based proton beam can be directed to multiple targets, producing a
low energy pion and muon decay-at-rest neutrino source with variable distance
to a single detector. Two types of detectors are considered: a germanium-based
detector inspired by the CDMS design and a liquid argon detector inspired by
the proposed CLEAR experiment. | | Source: | arXiv, 1201.3805 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
