Abstract

A recent re-analysis of past reactor neutrino experiments has shown a significant discrepancy between measured and expected neutrino count rates at short distances (<100m). Various scenarios have been discussed to explain this reactor antineutrino anomaly, the most exciting one being the oscillation of active neutrinos into a fourth (sterile) neutrino species. While current reactor experiments were dedicated to non-proliferation purposes, a new generation of projects is under development to search for this sterile neutrino through a new short-baseline oscillation signature.
