Abstract
The main physics goal of the JSNS$^{2}$ (J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source) experiment is to search sterile neutrino in the $\Delta$m$^{2}$ $\sim$1 eV$^{2}$ region with 24m baseline. The sterile neutrino signal is expected to be detected by appearance of electron antineutrinos from muon antineutrinos that are produced by the muon decay at rest through inverse beta decay. We will put 17 tons of Gd loaded liquid scintillator detector as a neutrino target, and we expect to get world competitive result after 3 years of data taking. The experiment aims to start data taking at early of 2019.
