The Search for Sterile Neutrinos with the SBN Experiment at Fermilab

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

The main goal of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program is to address observed anomalies that may originate from short baseline neutrino oscillations and to search for evidence of the existence of light sterile neutrinos with unprecedented sensitivity in the eV^2 mass range. Within the SBN program, the near detector (SBND) is positioned closest to the source, the intermediate detector is MicroBooNE and the far detector is ICARUS. All three detectors are exposed to the on-axis Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB). In this talk, I will focus on the status of the SBND and ICARUS detectors and describe how the SBN program can help resolve the long-standing neutrino anomaly that can be explained by the existence of a new, non-interacting, "sterile" neutrino.
