Description

A very significant collective effort over the next decade will be devoted to resolving and understanding four short-baseline anomalies in the neutrino sector. These are a) the reactor anomaly, b) the Gallium source anomaly, the excess of electron-like events in the c) MiniBooNE detector and d) in the LSND detector. Their importance lies in their potential to lead us to new physics beyond the Standard model. A number of theoretical proposals for new physics will be extensively tested in the process by a robust experimental program. We will review the current situation vis a vis both theory and experiment, highlighting the important new physics proposals as well as their tests via current and upcoming experiments.
