Abstract

We study the potential of a detector based on CCD sensors (CONNIE experiment) to study neutrino oscillations to sterile states using reactor neutrinos. We calculate the number of events expected in a 1 kg detector and determine the sensitivity to oscillations νe → νs in the vs. sin2θes parameter space for various exposures. The sensitivity is compared with the regions excluded by the Daya Bay experiment under the assumption θ24 = θ34 = 0. This work was carried out independently of the CONNIE Collaboration using published information, and its results are not official.
