Description
The MINOS+ experiment operates the MINOS detector in the recently upgraded NuMI muon neutrino beam. The increased beam intensity and energy will enable the MINOS+ experiment to collect high statistics in the 4–10GeV energy range, which is particularly useful for new physics searches. We present the prospects for a search for sterile neutrinos with mass splittings in the range from ~10-2eV^2 to ~10eV^2 using beam in both the muon neutrino mode and the anti-neutrino enhance mode. In addition, we present the MINOS+ sensitivity combined with that of the disappearance reactor experiment Bugey. This combined sensitivity will be compared to the LSND and MiniBooNE appearance signal.
