67 Summary - sterile neutrino oscillations (3+1) schemes have been only marginally allowed before MB, and become even more disfavoured with recent data (4σ). (3+2) schemes offer the possiblity of CP violation to reconcile LSND and MiniBooNE, can explain the low energy excess in MB, but there is tension between appearance and disappearance data (3σ, 4σ for MB300) (3+3) schemes do not offer qualitatively new features, and the fit does not improve significantly wrt (3+2) M.
