Ultra-light scalar saving the 3 + 1 neutrino scheme from the cosmological bounds

The LSND and MiniBooNE results as well as the reactor and Gallium anomalies seem to indicate the presence of a sterile neutrino with a mass of ∼1 eV mixed with active neutrinos. Such sterile neutrino can be produced in the early universe before the neutrino decoupling, leading to a contribution to t...
