The prediction for the un-oscillated νe flux from reactors,which has 〈E〉 ∼ 3 MeV, has increased by about 3%.

Measurements of the νe flux at (10 – 100)m from reactorcores now show a ∼ 6% disappearance.

The Hint From CosmologyBig Bang Nucleosysthesis (BBN) and CMB
anisotropies count the effective numberof relativistic degrees of freedom, Neff, at early times.
Light sterile neutrinos mixed with the active ones as required by the terrestrial anomalies
would very likely have thermalized in the early universe.
The evidence suggests that perhaps Neff > 3.
Then Neff grows by 1 for each sterile species.

34
The Bottom Line
A 3 + 1 spectrum does not providea good fit to all the data.
Assuming 3 + 1, the appearance anddisappearance data call for very different
values of Δm241 , as do the ν and ν data.
(Conrad, Ignarra, Karagiorgi, Shaevitz, Spitz)(Maltoni; Talk at Galileo Galilei Institute)
![Page 35: B M O I Oscillation I Physics Beyond 3 Neutrinos](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012420/6174764eefd61304d810e556/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
A 3 + 3 spectrum contains one moremass splitting, and improves the fit,
but there is still tensionbetween appearance and disappearance data.
A 3 + 2 spectrum can violate CP, so the ν vs. νtension is reduced, but the appearance
and disappearance data still call forvery different mass splittings.
(Perhaps the MiniBooNE low-energyappearance excess is not due to oscillation.)

In June, 2012, this group came to the same conclusion.
The group’s recommendations included —
A new experiment to search for νµ→νe and/or νe→νµ transitions.The experiment should be capable of bothexcluding sterile neutrinos over the entire allowedLSND/MiniBooNE parameter space with a significanceof at least 5σ, and of discovering sterile neutrinos ifthey exist within this region of parameter space, alsowith a significance of at least 5σ.
