JSNS2
The J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at the J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source (JSNS2) experiment is being constructed to explore the LSND and MiniBooNE anomalies, possibly indicative of oscillations involving a sterile neutrino. JSNS2, expecting first data in 2019, will use a 17 ton gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator volume exposed to neutrinos from an eventually 1 MW spallation neutron source at the J-PARC MLF. Like LSND, JSNS2 will predominantly observe antineutrinos from μ+ decay-at-rest in searching for oscillations at high-Δm2. JSNS2 will also measure neutrino-induced nuclear reaction cross sections in the energy range relevant to core-collapse supernovae, and expects to record 10,000 to 20,000 charged current events from kaon decay-at-rest per year. This talk details the unique capabilities of JSNS2 and reports on the status of the detector.
