Status of the reactor antineutrino anomalies and implications for active-sterile neutrino mixing

Carlo Giunti (Torino)

In this talk I discuss the current status of the reactor antineutrino anomaly, that is a deficit of electron antineutrino events observed in many short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments with respect to the Huber-Muller theoretical prediction. I discuss the global analysis of the data of reactor short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments in the framework of active-sterile neutrino mixing. I also discuss the statistical significance of the Neutrino-4 signal.
