Description
Although the standard 3-flavor framework has been firmly established and
the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations is very well understood within this
framework, there are anomalies in the experimental data which cannot be ac-
commodated in this scenario. One of the explanations for these anomalies is
the extension of the 3-flavor paradigm with an additional sterile neutrino.
Although it is theoretically very well motivated to extend SM with a such new
SU(2) singlet, its existence is yet to be established experimentally.
NINJA experiment is designed to measure neutrino-nucleus cross-sections using
nuclear emulsion films and a high-intensity neutrino beam from J-PARC. This
short-baseline experiment allows to explore different physics cases apart from
the neutrino-nucleus cross-section measurement. One of them is the search for
the sterile neutrino at the eV scale. In this poster, I will explore sensitivity of
the NINJA experiment in order to put constraints on sterile neutrino parame-
ters in the future runs. In this context, I will show the effect of different flux
options probed at the different target materials.
