The OPERA experiment, exposed to the CERN Gran Sasso $ν_μ$ beam, collected data from 2008 2012. Four oscillated $ν_τ$ Charged Current interaction candidates have been detected in appearance mode, which are consistent with $ν_μ\to ν_τ$ oscillations at atmospheric $Δm^2$ within "standard" three-neutrino framework. In this paper, results used derive limits on mixing parameters of a massive sterile neutrino.
