Description
We report recent progress on a LiF Experiment for keV Sterile Neutrino Search (LiFE-SNS) based on tritium beta decay measurement at mK temperatures. We use LiF crystals with $^3$H embedded through the Li(n,$\alpha$)$^3$H process. Magnetic microcalorimeters, one of the high-resolution detector technologies, are adopted to measure the amount of the energy deposited into the crystal absorber from $^3$H beta decays. Two detector modules have been prepared for the first phase of the project to achieve the highest sensitivity near the 10-keV region with a four-month measurement period. In this poster, we present the short- and long-term goals of the LiFE-SNS project searching for keV-scale sterile neutrinos together with possible systematics.
