The JSNS^2 Detector

Understand

The JSNS^2 (J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source) experiment aims to search for oscillations involving a sterile neutrino in the eV^2 mass-splitting range.

• The experiment will search for the appearance of electron antineutrinos oscillated from muon antineutrinos.
• The electron antineutrinos are detected via the inverse beta decay process using a liquid scintillator detector.
• A 1MW beam of 3 GeV protons incident on a spallation neutron target produces an intense and pulsed neutrino source from pion, muon, and kaon decay at rest.
