Abstract

We consider a model of neutrino oscillations with three additional sterile neutrinos and a gauged B\mathrm\text\ensuremath-L interaction. We find allowed values of the model parameters which can reconcile the results of the evidence for \ensuremathν_\ensuremathμ\ensuremath→\ensuremathν_e conversion seen at the LSND neutrino oscillation experiment with the null results of the MiniBooNE experiment. A portion of the low energy excess of \ensuremathν_e events seen at MiniBooNE can arise naturally, and we make a quantitative prediction for the forthcoming antineutrino oscillation results at MiniBooNE.
