Three light sterile neutrinos (\nu_e^s, \nu_\mu^s and \nu_\tau^s) are introduced to accommodate all the available neutrino data: the atmospheric neutrino anomaly is explained by \nu_\mu-\nu_\mu^s oscillation with maximal mixing; the solar…

In the framework of the Standard Model with lepton mixing the radiative decay $\nu_i \rightarrow \nu_j \gamma$ of a neutrino of high ($E_\nu \sim 100 \, GeV$) and super-high ($E_\nu \ge 1 \, TeV$) energy is investigated in the Coulomb field…
