%0 Journal Article %T Two hypothetic sterile neutrinos which want to mix with $¦Í_e $ and $¦Í_¦Ì$ %A Wojciech Krolikowski %J Physics %D 1998 %I arXiv %X It is argued that the observed deficit of solar and atmospheric neutrinos can be explained by neutrino oscillations $\nu_e \to \nu_s $ and $\nu_\mu \to \nu'_{s}$ involving two hypothetic sterile neutrinos $\nu_s $ and $\nu'_{s} $ (blind to all Standard--Model interactions). They are keen to mix nearly maximally with $\nu_{e}$ and $\nu_{\mu}$, respectively, to form neutrino mass states $\nu_1$, $\nu_4 $ and $\nu_2 $, $\nu_5 $. Our argument is presented in the framework of a model of fermion "texture" formulated previously, which implies the existence of two sterile neutrinos beside the three conventional. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9808207v1
