Four-neutrino oscillations

It is shown that at least four massive neutrinos are needed in order to accommodate the evidences in favor of neutrino oscillations found in solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments and in the LSND experiment. Among all four-neutrino schemes, only two, with a mass spectrum composed of two pairs of neutrinos with close masses separated by the 'LSND gap' of the order of 1 eV, are compatible with the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments. In these two schemes the probability of ν3(-) transitions into other states, the probability of νμ(-)→νe(-) transitions and the size of CP violation effects in νμ↔νe and ν-barμ↔ν-bare transitions are suppressed in long-baseline experiments
