Search for light sterile neutrinos with the T2K far detector Super-Kamiokande at a baseline of 295 km
We perform a search for light sterile neutrinos using the data from the T2K far detector at a baseline of 295 km, with an exposure of 14.7 (7.6)\(\times 10^{20}\) protons on target in neutrino (antineutrino) mode. A selection of neutral current interaction samples are also used to enhance the sensit...

Zusammenfassung: | We perform a search for light sterile neutrinos using the data from the T2K far detector at a baseline of 295 km, with an exposure of 14.7 (7.6)\(\times 10^{20}\) protons on target in neutrino (antineutrino) mode. A selection of neutral current interaction samples are also used to enhance the sensitivity to sterile mixing. No evidence of sterile neutrino mixing in the 3+1 model was found from a simultaneous fit to the charged-current muon, electron and neutral current neutrino samples. We set the most stringent limit on the sterile oscillation amplitude \(\sin^2\theta_{24}\) for the sterile neutrino mass splitting \(\Delta m^2_{41} |
