Abstract
We propose applications of Radioactive Ion Beam facilities to investigate physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, we focus upon the search for sterile neutrinos by means of a low energy beta-beam with a Lorentz boost factor of 1. In the considered setup, collected 8Li radioactive ions are sent inside a 4π detector filled with a liquid scintillator, with inverse-beta decay as neutrino detection channel. We provide exclusion curves for the sterile neutrino mixing parameters, based upon the 3+1 formalism, depending upon the achievable ion intensity. The proposed experiment represents a possible alternative to clarify the current anomalies observed in neutrino experiments.
