We investigate the impact of light ($\ensuremath{\sim}\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$) sterile neutrinos in the long-baseline experiment T2K. We show that, within the $3+1$ scheme, for mass-mixing parameters suggested by the short-baseline anomalies, the interference among the sterile and the atmospheric oscillation frequencies induces a new term in the ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}$ transition probability, which …
