“…The later MiniBooNE experiment saw some possible signs ofν μ → ν e as well as ν μ → ν e oscillations at a similar Δm 2 [21]. Additional anomalies appear in experiments looking at intenseν e and ν e sources at distances too short for standard oscillations: a lower rate ofν e 's than predicted was seen at several reactor experiments [22,23], and the rate of ν e 's from 51 Cr and 37 Ar calibration sources at gallium-based solar neutrino experiments was 3σ lower than the expected rate [24][25][26][27][28]. Both of these hints are consistent with oscillations driven by a Δm 2 > 1 eV 2 [29].…”

We present limits on sterile neutrino mixing using 4,438 live-days of atmospheric neutrino data from the Super-Kamiokande experiment. We search for fast oscillations driven by an eV 2 -scale mass splitting and for oscillations into sterile neutrinos instead of tau neutrinos at the atmospheric mass splitting. When performing both of these searches we assume that the sterile mass splitting is large, allowing sin 2 ðΔm 2 L=4EÞ to be approximated as 0.5, and we assume that there is no mixing between electron neutrinos and sterile neutrinos (jU e4 j 2 ¼ 0). No evidence of sterile oscillations is seen and we limit jU μ4 j 2 to less than 0.041 and jU τ4 j 2 to less than 0.18 for Δm 2 > 0.1 eV 2 at the 90% C.L. in a 3 þ 1 framework. The approximations that can be made with atmospheric neutrinos allow these limits to be easily applied to 3 þ N models, and we provide our results in a generic format to allow comparisons with other sterile neutrino models.

Sensitivities of low energy reactor neutrino experiments

The low energy part of the reactor neutrino spectra has not been measured experimentally. Its uncertainties limit the sensitivities in certain reactor neutrino experiments. This article discusses the origin of these uncertainties and examines their effects on the measurements of neutrino interactions with electrons and nuclei. The discrepancies between previous results and the Standard Model expectations can be explained by the under-estimation of the reactor neutrino spectra at low energies. To optimize the experimental sensitivities, measurements forν e -e cross-sections should focus on events with large (>1.5 MeV) recoil energy while those for neutrino magnetic moment searches should emphasize on events <100 keV. The merits and attainable accuracies for neutrino-electron scattering experiments using artificial neutrino sources are discussed.

“…A few anomalies in short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] can be explained with additional sterile neutrinos, but these results are in tension with the limits obtained from other experiments [14][15][16][17]. The majority of experimental searches have centered on mass-squared differences around 1 eV 2 and higher, whereas the Daya Bay and other medium baseline reactor antineutrino experiments can make unique contributions in the sub-eV scale [6,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”
