Sterile Neutrino Sensitivity with Wrong-Sign Muon Appearance at nuSTORM

Abstract

Neutrinos from STORed Muons (nuSTORM; formerly VLENF) is a proposed experiment to use 3.8 GeV/c muon decay to produce a well-understood beam of electron and muon neutrinos that can be used for short baseline physics. A magnetized far detector allows for the wrong-sign muon appearance physics of electron-neutrino to muon-neutrino. This channel is the CPT of the LSND anomaly and provides 10 sigma sensitivity to the anomaly. This note contains a detailed explanation of the nSTORM appearance analysis that was included in the Letter of Intent.
