In this paper, the sensitivity of ORCA to the presence of a light sterile neutrino in a 3+1 model is presented. After three years of data taking, ORCA will be able to probe the active-sterile mixing angles theta(14), theta(24), theta(34) and the effective angle theta(mu e), over a broad range of mass squared difference Delta m(41)(2) similar to [10(-5), 10] eV(2), allowing to test the eV-mass sterile neutrino hypothesis as the origin of short baseline anomalies, as well as probing the hypothesis of a very light sterile neutrino, not yet constrained by cosmology. ORCA will be able to explore a relevant fraction of the parameter space not yet reached by present measurements.}, organization = {French National Research Agency (ANR)}, organization = {European Commission ANR-15-CE31-0020}, organization = {Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)}, organization = {Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund)}, organization = {Commission Europeenne (Marie Curie Program)}, organization = {Institut Universitaire de France (IUF)}, organization = {LabEx UnivEarthS ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-18-IDEX-0001}, organization = {Paris Ile-de-France Region, France}, organization = {Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG), Georgia FR-18-1268}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG)}, organization = {Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT}, organization = {Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministero dell'Universita e della Ricerca (MIUR)}, organization = {PRIN 2017 program, Italy NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S}, organization = {Ministry of Higher Education Scientific Research and Professional Training}, organization = {ICTP, Morocco AF-13}, organization = {Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO)}, organization = {Netherlands Government}, organization = {National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758}, organization = {National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania}, organization = {Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades (MCIU): Programa Estatal de Generacion de Conocimiento PGC2018-096663-B-C41 PGC2018-096663-A-C42 PGC2018-096663-B-C43 PGC2018-096663-B-C44}, organization = {Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2020/019}, organization = {Grisolia program GRISOLIA/2018/119}, organization = {GenT program CIDEGENT/2018/034 CIDEGENT/2019/043 CIDEGENT/2020/049}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia A-FQM-053-UGR18}, organization = {La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019}, organization = {EU: MSC program, Spain 101025085}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Neutrino Detectors and Telescopes (experiments)}, keywords = {Oscillation}, title = {Sensitivity to light sterile neutrino mixing parameters with KM3NeT/ORCA}, doi = {10.1007/JHEP10(2021)180}, author = {Aiello, S. and Anguita López, Mancia and Díaz García, Antonio Francisco and Gutiérrez González, Miguel and López Coto, Daniel and Navas Concha, Sergio and KM3NeT Collaboration}, }
