We review the status of searches for sterile neutrinos in the $\sim 1$ eV range, with an emphasis on the latest results from short baseline oscillation experiments and how they fit within sterile neutrino oscillation models. We present…
We consider a scenario with unitary mixing of the three light standard neutrinos and a non-unitary mixing contribution of a heavier massive neutrino that can generate short-baseline neutrino oscillations. We show that this scenario predicts…

The three-flavor framework of neutrino oscillations successfully explains most experimental results, but persistent anomalies at short- and long-baseline experiments hint at the existence of additional light sterile states. In particular,…
