RE: Unraveling cosmic neutrino anomalies with Anita (and sterile neutrinos)

Thanks for the comment and passing by! :)

To answer your question: sterile neutrinos don't interact via standard interactions. This is where the name comes from.

However, they mix with the other neutrinos, and this mixing allows them to interact in a very suppressed manner. The sterile guy will hence possess a small non-sterile component and this little one will be responsible for the interactions.

Thank you very much for the response, very clear and detailed! :)

You are very welcome! :)
