DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Birgit Neumair (Technische Universität München\, J
 ames-Franck-Straße 1\, 85748 Garching)\nIn the last years\, several neutr
 ino oscillation experiments reported results not compatible within the 3-n
 eutrino model\, which hint at the existence of light sterile neutrinos. To
  test this hypothesis\, the SOX (Short distance neutrino Oscillations in B
 oreXino) experiment will search for oscillations from active to sterile ne
 utrinos by placing radioactive electron (anti-)neutrino sources underneath
  the Borexino detector. Oscillations will be observed via a reduction of t
 he detected interaction rate of the electron(anti-)neutrinos and an oscill
 atory pattern as a function of the neutrino energy and travelled distance.
  \n\nThe talk will give an overview of the project and of the expected dis
 covery potential for a 100kCi $^{144}$Ce source. The major challenges of d
 etermining the activity and the energy distribution of the source are disc
 ussed with focus on their impact on the experimental sensitivity.\n\nhttps
