Light Unstable Sterile Neutrino
Abstract
The three massless active (doublet) neutrinos may mix with two heavy and one light sterile (singlet) neutrinos so that the induced masses and mixings among the former are able to explain the present data on atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. If the LSND result is also to be explained, one active neutrino mass eigenstate must mix with the light sterile neutrino. A specific model is proposed with the spontaneous and soft explicit breaking of a new global U(1)S symmetry so that a sterile neutrino will decay into an active antineutrino and a nearly massless pseudo-Majoron.
