Poster Sterile neutrinos Poster

Description

In this poster I present progress towards a search for sterile neutrinos based on the 3+1 model in the MicroBooNE experiment. Recently released results by MicroBooNE show no sign of the MiniBooNE/LSND low-energy-excess anomaly. The 3+1 model examined here expands on the standard model of neutrinos by adding a fourth neutrino flavor and is not necessarily ruled out by the lack of a low energy excess. The search presented relies on Deep-Learning-based reconstruction tools and looks for charged current quasi-elastic (CCQE) events kinematically consistent with 2-body interaction. Using two orthogonal samples of CCQE electron neutrino events and CCQE muon neutrino events, I test this model allowing for electron neutrino appearance, electron neutrino disappearance, and muon neutrino disappearance. This poster will present the current status of this analysis.
