AbstractThe Compact Material Irradiation Facility (CMIF) in China is a current project that will provide a compact deuteron-beryllium neutron source. The target of this facility will be an intense and compact Isotope Decay-At-Rest (IsoDAR) neutrino source. In this paper, we propose a neutrino experiment using CMIF as the neutrino source and calculate its sensitivity to sterile neutrinos. With a $50, ext{MeV}$, $10, ext{mA}$ deuteron beam impinging upon a thin beryllium target of a thickness $2$ $ m g/cm^2$, the electron antineutrino production rate can be up to $2.0 imes 0^{19}$ per day. When paired with an 80 ton liquid scintillator detector to study short baseline electron antineutrino disappearance, the inverse beta decay (IBD) event rate is large enough to investigate the parameter ranges of interest for neutrino anomalies. Our sensitivity analysis shows that a short baseline experiment at this platform will provide a very competitive sterile neutrino search, especially in the high-$Delta m^2$ region ($Delta m^2 >10, ext{eV}^2$).
