MiniBooNE, MINOS+ and IceCube data imply a baroque neutrino sector

Understand

The 4.8$\sigma$ anomaly in MiniBooNE data cannot be reconciled with MINOS+ and IceCube data within the vanilla framework of neutrino oscillations involving an eV-mass sterile neutrino.

• We show that an apparently consistent picture can be drawn if charged-current and neutral-current nonstandard neutrino interactions are at work in the 3+1 neutrino scheme.
• It appears that either the neutrino sector is more elaborate than usually envisioned, or one or more datasets needs revision.
