Understand

The MiniBooNE experiment has recently reported an anomalous 4.5$\sigma$ excess of electron-like events consistent with $\nu_e$ appearance from a $\nu_\mu$ beam at short-baseline.

Given the lack of corresponding $\nu_\mu$ disappearance observations, required in the case of oscillations involving a sterile flavor, there is strong motivation for alternative explanations of this anomaly.
We consider the possibility that the observed electron-like signal may actually be due to hypothetical new particles,which do not involve new sources of neutrino production or oscillations.
We find that the electron-like event energy and angular distributions in the full MiniBooNE data-set, including neutrino mode, antineutrino mode, and beam dump mode, severely limit, and in some cases rule out, new physics scenarios as an explanation for the observed neutrino and antineutrino mode excesses.
