Oscillations of three neutrinos with all squared mass splittings around 10^{-3} eV^2 are not firmly excluded by solar neutrino experiments. We carefully verify that they are also perfectly compatible with atmospheric neutrino experiments:…

We propose a mechanism which provides an explanation of the Gallium and antineutrino reactor anomalies. Differently from original Pontecorvo's hypothesis, this mechanism is based on the phenomenological assumption in which the admixture of…

Results from the LSND and MiniBooNE experiments have been interpreted as evidence for a sterile neutrino with a mass near the electronvolt scale. Here we propose to test such a scenario by measuring the coherent elastic scattering rate of…
Solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino oscillation results require a light sterile neutrino, $\nu_B$, which can exist in the bulk of extra dimensions. Solar $\nu_e$, confined to the brane, can oscillate in the vacuum to the zero mode of…
The standard model is extended with three right-handed, singlet neutrinos with general couplings permitted by the $SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)$ symmetry. The traditional oscillations are accounted for, as usually, by three left-handed neutrinos.…
