Seminar talk: Phenomenology of light sterile neutrinos

by Carlo Giunti (INFN Italy)

Wednesday 11 Dec 2013, 16:30 → 17:30 Europe/Berlin

Seminar room, basement (Excellence Cluster Universe)

Carlo will review the experimental indications in favor of short-baseline neutrino oscillations. He will 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, he will present arguments in favor of 3+1 neutrino mixing with one sterile neutrino at the eV scale.
