Review of existing neutrino data shows that it cannot all be described with the two mass-squared differences and three mixing angles in simple mixing models.

The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab was designed to test the LSND evidence for oscillations [1]. The first MiniBooNE oscillation result in neutrino mode [2] shows no significant excess of events at higher energies (Ev > 475 MeV), although a sizeable excess is observed at lower energies (Ev < 475 MeV). The lack of a significant excess at higher energies allows MiniBooNE ...

Solar neutrino experiments were originally conceived as a way to demonstrate that nuclear reactions are responsible for energy generation in stars. When solar neutrinos were first detected the measured flux was much less than what solar models predicted. The Solar Neutrino Problem thus came to be and it persisted for over thirty years. ...
