Several anomalous results have been reported at short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, which cannot be accommodated in the standard 3-flavor framework. The most popular interpretation of these anomalies entails new light sterile neutrinos (with mass in the eV range) which mix with the three ordinary “active” species. We show that the presence of sterile neutrinos induces new CP violating phenomena and how the the planned LBL experiments will be able to probe them.
