MiniBooNE Results and Neutrino Schemes with 2 sterile Neutrinos: Possible Mass Orderings and Observables related to Neutrino Masses

Understand

The MiniBooNE and LSND experiments are compatible with each other when two sterile neutrinos are added to the three active ones.

• In this case there are eight possible mass orderings.
• In two of them both sterile neutrinos are heavier than the three active ones.
• In the next two scenarios both sterile neutrinos are lighter than the three active ones.
