A Sterile Neutrino Search with Kaon Decay-at-rest

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-05-30 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

Monoenergetic muon neutrinos (235.5 MeV) from positive kaon decay-at-rest are considered as a source for an electron neutrino appearance search. In combination with a liquid argon time projection chamber based detector, such a source could provide discovery-level sensitivity to the neutrino oscillation parameter space indicative of a sterile neutrino. Current and future intense >3 GeV kinetic energy proton facilities around the world can be employed for this experimental concept.
