We present a reactor model independent search for sterile neutrino oscillation using 2,509,days of RENO near detector data and 180 days of NEOS data. The reactor related systematic uncertainties are significantly suppressed as both detectors are located at the same reactor complex of Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant. The search is performed by electron antineutrino,($overline{ u}_e$) disappearance between six reactors and two detectors with baselines of 294,m,(RENO) and 24,m,(NEOS). A spectral comparison of the NEOS prompt-energy spectrum with a no-oscillation prediction from the RENO measurement can explore reactor $overline{ u}_e$ oscillations to sterile neutrino. Based on the comparison, we obtain a 95% C.L. excluded region of $0.1<|Delta m_{41}^2|<7$,eV$^2$. We also obtain a 68% C.L. allowed region with the best fit of $|Delta m_{41}^2|=2.41,pm,0.03,$,eV$^2$ and $sin^2 2theta_{14}$=0.08$,pm,$0.03 with a p-value of 8.2%. Comparisons of obtained reactor antineutrino spectra at reactor sources are made among RENO, NEOS, and Daya Bay to find a possible spectral variation.

An experiment to search for light sterile neutrinos was conducted at a reactor with a thermal power of 2.8 GW located at the Hanbit nuclear power complex. The search was done with a detector consisting of a ton of Gd-loaded liquid scintillator in a t
endon gallery approximately 24 m from the reactor core. The measured antineutrino event rate is 1976 per day with a signal to background ratio of about 22. The shape of the antineutrino energy spectrum obtained from eight-month data-taking period is compared with a hypothesis of oscillations due to active-sterile antineutrino mixing. It is found to be consistent with no oscillation. An excess around 5 MeV prompt energy range is observed as seen in existing longer baseline experiments. The parameter space of $sin^{2}2theta_{14}$ down below 0.1 for $Delta m^{2}_{41}$ ranging from 0.2 eV$^{2}$ to 2.3 eV$^{2}$ and the optimum point for the previously reported reactor antineutrino anomaly are excluded with a confidence level higher than 90%.
We report a search result for a light sterile neutrino oscillation with roughly 2200 live days of data in the RENO experiment. The search is performed by electron antineutrino ($overline{ u}_e$) disappearance taking place between six 2.8 GW$_{text{th
}}$ reactors and two identical detectors located at 294 m (near) and 1383 m (far) from the center of reactor array. A spectral comparison between near and far detectors can explore reactor $overline{ u}_e$ oscillations to a light sterile neutrino. An observed spectral difference is found to be consistent with that of the three-flavor oscillation model. This yields limits on $sin^{2} 2theta_{14}$ in the $10^{-4} lesssim |Delta m_{41}^2| lesssim 0.5$ eV$^2$ region, free from reactor $overline{ u}_e$ flux and spectrum uncertainties. The RENO result provides the most stringent limits on sterile neutrino mixing at $|Delta m^2_{41}| lesssim 0.002$ eV$^2$ using the $overline{ u}_e$ disappearance channel.
OPERA is a long-baseline experiment at the Gran Sasso laboratory (LNGS) designed to search for $ u_mu rightarrow u_tau$ oscillations in appearance mode. OPERA took data from 2008 to 2012 with the CNGS neutrino beam from CERN. The data analysis is on
going, with the goal of establishing $ u_tau$ appearance with high significance and improving the sensitivity to the sterile neutrino search in the $ u_mu$ $rightarrow$ $ u_e$ appearance channel. Current results will be presented and perspectives discussed.
We present a search for a light sterile neutrino using three years of atmospheric neutrino data from the DeepCore detector in the energy range of approximately $10-60~$GeV. DeepCore is the low-energy sub-array of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The
standard three-neutrino paradigm can be probed by adding an additional light ($Delta m_{41}^2 sim 1 mathrm{ eV^2}$) sterile neutrino. Sterile neutrinos do not interact through the standard weak interaction, and therefore cannot be directly detected. However, their mixing with the three active neutrino states leaves an imprint on the standard atmospheric neutrino oscillations for energies below 100 GeV. A search for such mixing via muon neutrino disappearance is presented here. The data are found to be consistent with the standard three neutrino hypothesis. Therefore we derive limits on the mixing matrix elements at the level of $|U_{mu4}|^2 < 0.11 $ and $|U_{tau4}|^2 < 0.15 $ (90% C.L.) for the sterile neutrino mass splitting $Delta m_{41}^2 = 1.0$ eV$^2$.
We comment on the claimed observation [arXiv:arXiv:2005.05301] of sterile neutrino oscillations by the Neutrino-4 collaboration. Such a claim, which requires the existence of a new fundamental particle, demands a level of rigor commensurate with its
impact. The burden lies with the Neutrino-4 collaboration to provide the information necessary to prove the validity of their claim to the community. In this note, we describe aspects of both the data and analysis method that might lead to an oscillation signature arising from a null experiment and describe additional information needed from the Neutrino-4 collaboration to support the oscillation claim. Additionally, as opposed to the assertion made by the Neutrino-4 collaboration, we also show that the method of coherent summation using the $L/E$ parameter produces similar results to the methods used by the PROSPECT and the STEREO collaborations.
