Among the class of models with small mixing angles between sterile and active neutrinos, we place constraints on the effective muon-to-sterile neutrino magnetic and electric dipole transition moments from the combined MiniBooNE results for the sterile neutrino mass range of $10\;\mathrm{MeV}<m_s<500\; \mathrm{MeV}$. Our results are valid for models with CP-violating interactions and for Dirac and Majorana sterile neutrinos. In addition, we show that such dipole electromagnetic interactions cannot be the main source of the anomalous events in the MiniBooNE experiment because they fail to reproduce the anomalous event distribution as a function of polar angle. However, good agreement with the anomalous event distribution in reconstructed energy can be achieved for some values of magnetic and electric moments.

    A new neutrino-photon interaction involving a sterile neutrino is constrained at NOMAD and MiniBooNE, and a light-mediator realization can fit the MiniBooNE excess.
