Abstract Some neutrino experiments reveal anomalous results which can make room for new physics beyond the three-flavor neutrino oscillation model. These hints suggest the existence of sterile neutrinos with mass m <eV. SOX will be a short-baseline disappearance experiment aiming to test this hypotesis, performed with the liquid scintillator detector Borexino at Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy [1]. Due to the good energy and position resolution, a light sterile neutrino can create an oscillatory pattern in the signal. The SOX sensitivity, the related analysis and systematics will be briefly discussed.
