To test this, MiniBooNE is running with anti-neutrino beams right now. Their initial run(s) was with neutrino beams simply because it is easier to make a large flux with neutrino beams versus anti-neutrino beams. Hi Bee,

I've no expertise on that experiment, I'm afraid. Yes, I'm sure some people will continue to speculate. -cvj Hi Bee,

Yes, I’m sure some people will continue to speculate.

So they did \nu_\mu -> \nu_e and not actually the same as LSND? Why did they do that? I mean, now people will go on trying to find an explanation for LSND based on \nu anti-\nu asymmetry instead of sterile neutrinos, don't you think? Best, B. Hi Clifford,
