Abstract | |
In the context of neutrino oscillations and neutrino physics, we aimed to study phenomenological implications in short-baseline neutrino experiments. Specifically, we chose two work subjects: neutrinos in Large Extra Dimensions (LED) and heavy neutrino decay. We analyzed the effects of the LED model in the future Short-Baseline Neutrino Program experiment. We showed that the experiment has a competitive sensitivity to LED manifestation and can discriminate LED hypothesis from the 3+1 oscillation model. Regarding the studies with neutrino decay, we showed that the chosen model reasonably accommodates the short-baseline anomaly, led by LSND and MiniBooNE results, and evades strong constraints from muon neutrino disappearance searches in short-baseline (AU) | |
