Description

LSND and MiniBooNE have provided longstanding and statistically significant evidence of anomalous electron-like excesses. This has led to very significant theoretical and experimental activity aimed at understanding the origin of the signals. Recent results from MicroBooNE have sharpened the focus of these efforts and point towards the genuine possibility of new physics, with the possible existence of a dark sector and new interactions.
In my talk I will review the current status of this important problem both from a theoretical and experimental perspective.
