Over the last several years, our understanding of neutrino oscillations has developed significantly due to the long-baseline measurements of muon-neutrino disappearance and muon-to-electron-neutrino appearance at the T2K and NOvA experiments. However, when interpreted under the standard-three-massive-neutrinos paradigm, a tension has emerged between the two experiments' data. Here, we examine whether this tension can be alleviated when a fourth, very light neutrino is added to the picture. Specifically, we focus on the scenario in which this new neutrino has a mass similar to, or even lighter than, the three mostly-active neutrinos that have been identified to date. We find that, for some regions of parameter space, the four-neutrino framework is favored over the three-neutrino one with moderate (a little under two sigma) significance. Interpreting these results, we provide future outlook for near-term and long-term experiments if this four-neutrino framework is indeed true.

New parameter region in sterile neutrino searches: a scenario to alleviate cosmological neutrino mass bound and its testability at oscillation experiments
IceCube can test massless sterile neutrinos lighter than active neutrinos in the inverted-ordering regime, with sensitivity to sin^2 2theta24 ~ 10^-2 at |Delta m^2_41| ~ 0.2 eV^2, a region opened by the Farzan-Hannest...

Probing Quasi-Dirac Neutrino Oscillations at Long Baseline Experiments
GLoBES simulations show that DUNE can probe quasi-Dirac sterile-neutrino mixing down to θ_sa ≈ 0.05 with uniform coverage, while current NOvA+T2K data constrains θ_sa ≳ 0.08.
