Quantum field theoretical description of neutrino oscillations and reactor antineutrino anomaly
Abstract
We suggest a possible explanation of the reactor antineutrino anomaly derived from a covariant quantum field-theoretical approach to neutrino oscillations. Some disadvantages of the currently prevailing interpretation of the anomaly, based upon the sterile neutrino hypothesis are pointed out.
