Description

I review the experimental indications in favor of short-baseline neutrino oscillations
and I 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 new model-independent indication in favor of
short-baseline electron antineutrino disappearance, confirming the reactor and Gallium
anomalies. On the other hand, the recent result of the MINOS+ experiment disfavors the
LSND anomaly. I also discuss the interpretation of the Daya Bay fuel evolution data.
