Abstract

We report on the study of the sensitivity in the νμ → νe oscillation channel of the OPERA detector at the Gran Sasso Laboratory along the CNGS neutrino beamline. An identification procedure for νe events was defined and a full Monte Carlo simulation was used in order to simulate the detection of real events and evaluate the identification efficiency. A cut on the reconstructed neutrino energy was studied with the purpose of improving the sensitivity on the νμ → νe oscillation parameters. Finally a further analysis of the OPERA sensitivity in (3+1)-neutrino mixing model was performed.
