Testing sterile neutrino mixing with present and future solar neutrino data
We investigate the sensitivity of solar neutrino data to mixing of sterile neutrinos with masses $$\gtrsim $$ ≳ eV. For current data, we perform a Feldman–Cousins analysis to derive a robust limit on the sterile neutrino mixing. The solar neutrino limit

A search for sterile neutrinos with the latest cosmological observations
We report the result of a search for sterile neutrinos with the latest cosmological observations. Both cases of massless and massive sterile neutrinos are considered in the $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM cosmology.

Search for the sterile neutrino mixing with the ICAL detector at INO
The study has been carried out on the prospects of probing the sterile neutrino mixing with the magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL) at the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO), using atmospheric neutrinos as a source.

Baryon-number-violating nucleon decays in sterile neutrino effective field theories
The search for baryon-number-violating (BNV) nucleon decay provides an in- triguing probe of new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Future neutrino experiments will improve the sensitivity to BNV nucleon decays and can serve to search for dark ...

Sterile neutrinos or flux uncertainties? — Status of the reactor anti-neutrino anomaly
The ∼ 3σ discrepancy between the predicted and observed reactor anti-neutrino flux, known as the reactor anti-neutrino anomaly, continues to intrigue.

Active-sterile neutrino oscillations at INO-ICAL over a wide mass-squared range
We perform a detailed analysis for the prospects of detecting active-sterile oscillations involving a light sterile neutrino, over a large Δm 412 range of 10−5 eV2 to 102 eV2, using 10 years of atmospheric neutrino data expected from the proposed 50 kt ...

Viable secret neutrino interactions with ultralight dark matter
Several anomalies in neutrino oscillation experiments point to the existence of a ∼1 eV sterile neutrino νs mixing with νe at the level of Ue4≅0.1, but such a neutrino is strongly disfavored by constraints on additional light degrees of freedom (δNeff ...

COSMOLOGY OF "VISIBLE" STERILE NEUTRINOS [PDF]
We point out that in scenarios with a low reheating temperature TR << 100 MeV at the end of (the last episode of) inflation or entropy production, the abundance of sterile neutrinos becomes largely independent of their coupling to active neutrinos.

Solar neutrino detectors as sterile neutrino hunters
The large size and the very low radioactive background of solar neutrino detectors such as Borexino at the Gran Sasso Laboratory in Italy offer a unique opportunity to probe the existence of neutrino oscillations into new sterile components by means of carefully designed and well calibrated anti-neutrino and neutrino artificial sources.
