Description

We will describe two new searches for sterile neutrino oscillations. The first search looked for evidence through muon-neutrino disappearance with data collected by the MINOS detectors exposed to the NuMI beam. The second search looked for evidence through electron-antineutrino disappearance with data collected by the Daya Bay detectors exposed to nuclear reactors. We will explain how the MINOS and Daya Bay searches were combined to produce constraints on the allowed phase space by LSND and MiniBooNE. Finally, we will present the status of the sterile neutrino search using data from MINOS+.
