In this paper, the sensitivity of ORCA to the presence of a light sterile neutrino in a 3+1 model is presented. After three years of data taking, ORCA will be able to probe the active-sterile mixing angles theta(14), theta(24), theta(34) and the effective angle theta(mu e), over a broad range of mass squared difference Delta m(41)(2) similar to [10(-5), 10] eV(2), allowing to test the eV-mass sterile neutrino hypothesis as the origin of short baseline anomalies, as well as probing the hypothesis of a very light sterile neutrino, not yet constrained by cosmology. ORCA will be able to explore a relevant fraction of the parameter space not yet reached by present measurements.<br />French National Research Agency (ANR)<br />European Commission ANR-15-CE31-0020<br />Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)<br />Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund)<br />Commission Europeenne (Marie Curie Program)<br />Institut Universitaire de France (IUF)<br />LabEx UnivEarthS ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-18-IDEX-0001<br />Paris Ile-de-France Region, France<br />Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG), Georgia FR-18-1268<br />German Research Foundation (DFG)<br />Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT<br />Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministero dell'Universita e della Ricerca (MIUR)<br />PRIN 2017 program, Italy NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S<br />Ministry of Higher Education Scientific Research and Professional Training<br />ICTP, Morocco AF-13<br />Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO)<br />Netherlands Government<br />National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758<br />National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania<br />Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades (MCIU): Programa Estatal de Generacion de Conocimiento PGC2018-096663-B-C41 PGC2018-096663-A-C42 PGC2018-096663-B-C43 PGC2018-096663-B-C44<br />Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2020/019<br />Grisolia program GRISOLIA/2018/119<br />GenT program CIDEGENT/2018/034 CIDEGENT/2019/043 CIDEGENT/2020/049<br />Junta de Andalucia A-FQM-053-UGR18<br />La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019<br />EU: MSC program, Spain 101025085
