Short Wavelength Oscillations with Right-Handed Neutrinos

Abstract

The standard model is extended with three right-handed, singlet neutrinos with general couplings permitted by the $SU(2{)}_L\times U(1)$ symmetry. The traditional oscillations are accounted for, as usually, by three left-handed neutrinos. The article investigates new structures that develop when the masses of the right-handed states are in the eV range. The new states interfere and oscillate with the standard light neutrinos. New structures appear when the detectors average over short wavelengths. I use these results to present and classify properties of the observed anomalies in the MiniBooNe, reactor and Gallium-detector experiments.
