Statistical significance of the sterile-neutrino hypothesis in the context of reactor and gallium data

Abstract We evaluate the statistical significance of the 3+1 sterile-neutrino hypothesis using ν e and ν ¯ $$ \overline{\nu} $$ e disappearance data from reactor, solar and gallium radioactive source experiments. Concerning the latter, we investigate the implications of the recent BEST results. For...
