Description

I review the experimental indications in favor of short-baseline neutrino oscillations and discuss their interpretation in the framework of 3+1 neutrino mixing with a sterile neutrino at the eV scale.
I show that the recent results of the NEOS and DANSS reactor neutrino experiments give a model-independent indication in favor of short-baseline electron antineutrino disappearance, in partial agreement with the reactor and Gallium anomalies.
On the other hand, the recent results of the MINOS+ experiment disfavor the LSND anomaly.
I also discuss the interpretation of the Daya Bay fuel evolution data.
