چکیده
Abstract We review the status of light sterile neutrino searches, motivated by original Short BaseLine (SBL) anomalies. Here, we discuss how properties can be constrained different types oscillation experiments (considering appearance or disappearance probes in channels) and non-oscillation measurements. These latter include aiming at obtaining a value for absolute scale masses (β decay probes) indirect constraints that could obtain from cosmological observations.

Naturally light sterile neutrinos
A simple model to accomodate light sterile neutrinos naturally with large mixing with the usual neutrinos has been proposed. The standard model gauge group is extended to include an SU(2)S gauge symmetry. Heavy triplet higgs scalars give small masses to the lefthanded neutrinos, while a heavy doublet higgs scalar give mixing with the sterile neutrinos of the same order of magnitude. The neutrin...
متن کاملLight active and sterile neutrinos from compositeness
Neutrinos can have naturally small Dirac masses if the Standard Model singlet right-handed neutrinos are light composite fermions. Theories which produce light composite fermions typically generate many of them, three of which can marry the left-handed neutrinos with small Dirac masses. The rest can serve as sterile states which can mix with the Standard Model neutrinos. We present explicit mod...
متن کاملChiral Gauge Models for Light Sterile Neutrinos
We construct a family of simple gauge models in which three sterile neutrinos become naturally light by virtue of a generalized seesaw mechanism involving a chiral gauge symmetry. Examples where the chiral gauge group is SU(5), SU(7), SU(3) and/or their descendants are presented. A unified model based on SO(10) × SO(10) which embeds many of these models is constructed wherein three light steril...
متن کاملLight Sterile Neutrinos from Large Extra Dimensions
An experimentally verifiable Higgs-triplet model of neutrino masses from large extra dimensions was recently proposed. We extend it to accomodate a light sterile neutrino which also mixes with the three active neutrinos. A previously proposed phenomenological model of four neutrinos (the only viable such model now left, in view of the latest atmospheric and solar neutrino-oscillation data) is s...
متن کاملSterile neutrinos
Neutrino masses are usually described by adding to the Standard Model some SU(2)singlet fermions that have the Yukawa couplings, as well as some Majorana mass terms. The number of such fields and the scales of their Majorana masses are not known. Several independent observations point to the possibility that some of these singlets may have masses well below the electroweak scale. A sterile neut...
