We present an analysis of the global neutrino oscillation data in terms of four-neutrino mass schemes. We find that the strong preference of oscillations into active neutrinos implied by the latest solar as well as atmospheric neutrino data…

New experimental results, if correct, require at least one light sterile neutrino, in addition to the three active ones, to accommodate the mass differences required to explain the solar $\nu_e$ deficit, the anomalous $\nu/e$ ratio produced…

We construct a mass matrix for the four neutrino flavors, three active and one sterile, needed to fit oscillations in all three neutrino experiments: atmospheric, solar, and LSND, simultaneously. It organizes the neutrinos into two doublets…

In light of recent Super-Kamiokande data and global fits that seem to exclude both pure \nu_\mu \to \nu_s oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos and pure \nu_e \to \nu_s oscillations of solar neutrinos (where \nu_s is a sterile neutrino), we…

In a model with four neutrino mass eigenstates grouping in two narrow doublets the condition of maximal mixing of the doublet neutrino components leads to a simple four-neutrino mixing matrix which is related to two connected effective…

Motivated by existing and recent data on possible neutrino oscillations, we propose a model of four light neutrinos ($\nu_e, \nu_\mu, \nu_\tau$, and a singlet $\nu_S$) with a pattern of masses and mixing derivable from a $Z_5$ discrete…

Evidences in favor of neutrino oscillations, obtained in the solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments, are discussed. Neutrino oscillations in the solar and atmospheric ranges of the neutrino mass-squared differences are considered in the…

A review of the problem of neutrino mass, mixing and oscillations is given. Possible phenomenological schemes of neutrino mixing are discussed. The most important consequences of neutrino mixing--neutrino oscillations are considered in some…

Theory suggests the existence of neutrino masses, but little more. Facts are coming close to reveal our fantasy: solar and atmospheric neutrino data strongly indicate the need for neutrino conversions, while LSND provides an intriguing…

All existing data on neutrino oscillations (including those from the LSND experiment) imply a four neutrino scheme with six different allowed mass patterns. Some of the latter are shown to be disfavored by using a conservative upper bound…

We consider long-baseline neutrino oscillations in the framework of two schemes with mixing of four massive neutrinos which can accommodate all the existing indications in favour of neutrino mixing. Within these schemes, we derive bounds on…

Our knowledge of the neutrino sector of the Standard Model has recently undergone a revolution. Deficits of the atmospheric muon neutrino flux and the solar electron neutrino flux compared to their predicted values can be understood in…

We investigate the implications of the standard Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis constraint on the number of light neutrinos in the framework of the two four-neutrino schemes that are favored by the results of neutrino oscillation experiments.

We discuss possibility of describing solar, atmospheric and LSND results with four neutrinos forming two quasi-degenerate pairs. The simplest versions of this 2+2 scheme with either $\nu_e$ or $\nu_\mu$ mixing exclusively with sterile…

Recently it was suggested that two very different mass-squared differences play a role in atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The larger of these also accounts for the LSND result and the smaller of these also drives the solar neutrino…

We suggest the possibility that the anomalies observed in the LSND experiment and the Gallium radioactive source experiments may be due to neutrino oscillations generated by a large squared-mass difference of about 20 - 30 eV^2. We consider…

Positive evidence for neutrino oscillations is mounting from the solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies and the LSND experiment. Accordingly, the neutrino mass differences appear to lie in the sub-eV range and at least some of the mixing…

Measurements of various features of the fluxes of atmospheric and solar neutrinos have provided evidence for neutrino oscillations and therefore for neutrino masses and mixing. We review the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum…
