Reaffirming an Anomaly: Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions
Experimental data from the Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) confirms a deficit of electron neutrinos (\(\nu_e\)) observed in previous radiochemical measurement at the SAGE (1990–2007) and GALLEX (1998–2003) experiments….
