Progress Update on the JSNS^2 Experiment

ORAL

Abstract

In this presentation, I will introduce the JSNS^2 (J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source) experiment, including its goals, methods, and current results. The driving goal behind this experiment is the search for neutrino oscillation involving sterile neutrinos using a source of muon antineutrinos from muon decay at rest, which then are detected using gadolinium loaded liquid scintillator. My own work has focused on the kaon decay at rest (KDAR) measurement. Within this session, I will go over specific problems that we have faced (counteracting background events like cosmic muons, oversaturated PMTs, etc.) as well as an update on the measurement progress.
