There are several experimental indications of sterile neutrinos with a mass in the 1 eV ballpark and many experiments are trying to clarify the situation. During 6 years the DANSS experiment collected more than 6 million Inverse Beta Decay…
We present new preliminary DANSS results based on 3.5 million Inverse Beta Decay (IBD) events collected at 3 distances (10.9 m, 11.9 m, and 12.9 m) from the detector center to the reactor core center. The detector position is changed…
