Sterile neutrinos or flux uncertainties? — Status of the reactor anti-neutrino anomaly

Abstract The ∼ 3σ discrepancy between the predicted and observed reactor anti-neutrino flux, known as the reactor anti-neutrino anomaly, continues to intrigue. The recent discovery of an unexpected bump in the reactor anti-neutrino spectrum, as well as indications that the flux deficit is different...
