Active neutrino oscillations and double beta decay characteristics with sterile neutrinos contributions

Abstract

Light sterile neutrinos contributions both for active neutrinos oscillations and neutrinoless double beta decay characteristics are estimated in the framework of the phenomenological model with three active and three sterile neutrinos assuming the Majorana nature of neutrino. Appearance and survival probabilities for active neutrinos with contributions of eV-sterile neutrinos in application to the short-baseline anomalies in neutrino data are obtained at the same test values of the model parameters. Modified graphical dependences for the survival probability of electron neutrinos/antineutrinos and the probability of appearance of electron neutrinos/antineutrinos in muon neutrino/antineutrino beams as functions of distance and other model parameters at different neutrino energies, and also as functions of the ratio of the distance to the neutrino energy are presented. A significant difference was found between the probability curves of the considered neutrino model and the simple sinusoidal curves of the neutrino model with one sterile neutrino. Effective electron neutrino masses for the beta decay and the neutrinoless double beta decay are estimated with account of eV-sterile neutrinos contributions. Besides, the two-neutrino double beta decay characteristics for selenium-82 are calculated. These findings can be used for interpretation and prediction of results of ground-based experiments on search for the sterile neutrinos as well as the neutrinoless double beta decay.
