Some attempts to explain MINOS anomaly

TL;DR

This paper critically examines various proposed explanations for the MINOS anomaly, including non-standard neutrino interactions and sterile neutrino models, assessing their viability and implications.

Contribution

It provides a critical analysis of existing models explaining the MINOS anomaly, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.

Findings

Non-standard neutral current-neutrino interactions are insufficient to explain the anomaly.

The (3+1)-sterile neutrino scheme offers a plausible explanation but faces challenges.

The paper identifies key issues and suggests directions for future research.

Abstract

Some attempts which were made to explain the MINOS anomaly are critically discussed. They include the non-standard neutral current-neutrino interaction and the (3+1)-scheme with sterile neutrino.
