eV-scale Sterile Neutrinos

Abstract

We address the phenomenology of light sterile neutrinos, with emphasis on short-baseline neutrino oscillations. After a review of the observed short-baseline neutrino oscillation anomalies, we discuss the global fit of the data and the current appearance-disappearance tension. We also review briefly the effects of light sterile neutrinos in β\beta decay, neutrinoless double-β\beta decay and cosmology. Finally, we discuss the future perspective in the search for the effects of eV-scale sterile neutrinos.
