A proposed explanation for this anomaly is based on the existence of a heavy ($\\sim 50$~MeV) sterile neutrino. These $\\nu_h$ would be produced by $\\nu_\\mu$ electromagnetic and neutral current interactions. A fraction of them decays radiatively inside the detector. The emitted photon is misidentified as an electron or positron in MiniBooNE.
