LANL News:
Analysis of results from an experiment called MiniBooNE at Fermilab has provided yet more evidence that particles called “sterile neutrinos” could indeed exist, supporting results from a 1990s Los Alamos National Laboratory experiment that indicated an update to the Standard Model of physics might be in order.
“We believe that this paper vindicates the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) results
