The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), located at Oak Ridge Laboratory in the United States, will be coming online over the next few years. In addition to producing fluxes of high-intensity neutrons, the interaction of the proton beam with the liquid mercury target produces copious pions. The pi+ and subsequent mu+ decay at rest, providing a neutrino beam comprising numu, nue, and anti-numu components. This neutrino beam is ideal for high-precision neutrino experiments. OscSNS is a proposed multi-purpose experiment that will perform a search for light sterile neutrinos, search for beyond the Standard Model interactions using neutrino oscillations, and provide tests of Standard Model predictions through world-record precision neutrino cross section measurements. OscSNS plans to submit a full proposal for funding in 2009.
