Description
By utilizing three liquid argon time projection chamber detectors positioned at different baselines along the Booster Neutrino Beamline at Fermilab, the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program will grant unprecedented sensitivity in probing the parameter space of 3 active plus N sterile (3+N) neutrino oscillation models. This talk will present the results of a complete sensitivity analysis of SBN to 3+N oscillation models, focusing particularly on 3+2 and 3+3 models, and show that by combining this with global fits of existing sterile neutrino oscillation data one can quantitatively see the extent to which SBN reduces the allowed sterile parameter space. For these cases, one may also explore SBN's sensitivity to CP violating phases which appear in association with the extra neutrino states. Constraining the CP-violating parameter phase-space for such extended models is both of vital importance to understanding the neutrino sector in itself and complementary to future, long-baseline searches for CP violation.
