In this paper, the sensitivity of ORCA to the presence of a light sterile neutrino in a 3+1 model is presented. After three years of data taking, ORCA will be able to probe the active-sterile mixing angles theta(14), theta(24), theta(34) and the effective angle theta(mu e), over a broad range of mass squared difference Delta m(41)(2) similar to [10(-5), 10] eV(2), allowing to test the eV-mass sterile neutrino hypothesis as the origin of short baseline anomalies, as well as probing the hypothesis of a very light sterile neutrino, not yet constrained by cosmology. ORCA will be able to explore a relevant fraction of the parameter space not yet reached by present measurements.", optnote="WOS:000710339200001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5010), last updated on Sun, 23 Jan 2022 11:03:07 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP10(2021)180", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.00344", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10(2021)180", language="English" }
