Abstract

Abstract: The OPERA experiment, exposed to the CERN to Gran Sasso ν_μ beam, collected data from 2008 to 2012. Four oscillated ν_τ Charged Current interaction candidates have been detected in appearance mode, which are consistent with ν_μ→ ν_τ oscillations at the atmospheric Δm² within the “standard” three-neutrino framework. In this paper, the OPERA ν_τ appearance results are used to derive limits on the mixing parameters of a massive sterile neutrino.
