Review of sterile neutrino searches at very short-baseline reactor experiments

Understand

Search for New Physics beyond the Standard Model is the main direction in particle physics nowadays.

• There are several experimental hints of New Physics.
• The most statistically significant (5-6$\sigma$) are the hints of eV mass scale sterile neutrinos.
• They come from antineutrino disappearance in reactor experiments, $\nu_e$ disappearance in experiments with very powerful radioactive sources, and electron (anti)neutrino appearance in the muon (anti)neutrino beams.
