I review the experimental indications in favor of
short-baseline neutrino oscillations. I discuss their
interpretation in the framework of neutrino mixing schemes with one or
more sterile neutrinos which have masses around the eV scale. Taking
into account also cosmological constraints, I present arguments
in favor of 3+1 neutrino mixing with one sterile neutrino at the eV
scale. I...

The recently completed NuMI Off-Axis Nu_e Appearance (NOvA) long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, will use an upgraded NuMI neutrino source at Fermilab in conjunction with a 300-ton near-detector and a 14-kton far-detector to explore the neutrino sector. NOvA uses a fully active, finely segmented detector design that offers superb event identification capability, allowing precision...
