OPERA is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment built to provide the final and unambiguous proof of the neutrino oscillation hypothesis in the atmospheric sector by observing ντ emerging from the CNGS νμ beam. The detector is a hybrid apparatus installed in the Hall C of the underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. Runs with CNGS neutrinos were successfully carried out in 2007 and 2008. In this paper the detector and the analysis strategy are briefly described and the status of the analysis of the 2008 run events is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
We explore the possibility to explain the LSND [1] result in the context of extra-dimensional theories. If sterile neutrinos take shortcuts through extra dimensions, this results in altered neutrino dispersion relations. Active-sterile neutrino oscillations thus are modified and new types of resonances occur. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
These proceedings provide a summary of results from a combined analysis of short-baseline (SBL) oscillation data, including data from LSND and MiniBooNE, under a 3 active +2 sterile neutrino oscillation hypothesis. The analysis is done within both a CP-conserving (CPC) and a CP-violating (CPV) framework. The implications for any possible leptonic CP violation that is allowed by a combined analysis of the null-SBL and LSND experiments are discussed in relation to the MiniBooNE experiment.
