Description

I review the experimental indications in favor of short-baseline neutrino oscillations and I discuss their interpretation in the framework of 3+1 neutrino mixing with a sterile neutrino at the eV scale. I show that the recent results of the NEOS and DANSS reactor neutrino experiments give a new model-independent indication in favor of short-baseline electron antineutrino disappearance, confirming the reactor and Gallium anomalies. On the other hand, the recent result of the MINOS+ experiment disfavors the LSND anomaly. I also discuss the interpretation of the Daya Bay fuel evolution data.
