The neutrino anomalies generally refer to the hints from appearance and disappearance experiments for eV-scale neutrinos. In the 1990s, the LSND experiment reported a neutrino appearance oscillation signal that, when viewed together with the solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiments, is in conflict with the Standard Model expectation of three neutrino flavors. The follow-on...

Despite a long history the sterile neutrino issue is still currently a very open issue. On top of the incredible window it could be open by its discovery, it constitutes a demanding part for the assessment of a neutrino global picture. Through the presentation of the different results collected so far, in particular at the eV mass scale, a critical illustration of what has to be expected in...

The aim of the SoLid experiment is to provide the precise measurement of the anti-neutrino energy spectrum from a highly enriched uranium reactor, and then, perform sensitive search for short baseline neutrino oscillation. The objectives are to resolve the reactor neutrino anomaly and to test in fine the light sterile neutrino hypothesis. For this purpose, the SoLid collaboration are using a...

Past reactor and source experiments have observed deficits of neutrinos, with respect to the expected rates, that could be explained by the existence of a sterile neutrino at the 1 eV mass scale. The Stereo experiment has been designed to test this hypothesis by searching for a new oscillation pattern at short distance from the compact reactor of the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in...
