Are there two sterile neutrinos cooscillating with $\nu_e$ and $\nu_\mu$?
Abstract
The existence of two sterile neutrinos and (blind to all Standard-Model interactions) is shown to be implied by a model of fermion "texture" that we develop since some time. They may mix nearly maximally with two of three conventional neutrinos, say and , thus leading to neutrino oscillations, say and , with nearly maximal amplitudes. Then, they can be responsible for the observed deficits of solar 's and atmospheric 's, respectiv% ely, but by themselves do not help to explain the LSND results for oscillations. On the other hand, they are consistent with the CHOOZ negative result. At the moment, the experiment cannot decide, whether the deficit of atmospheric 's, confirmed by the recent \SK findings, has to be related to the oscillations or . In the last Section of the paper, a new notion of "non-Abelian spin-1/2 fermions" is presented in the context of a composite option for fermion families.
