abstract
We present a search for eV-scale sterile neutrino oscillations in the MicroBooNE liquid argon detector, simultaneously considering all possible appearance and disappearance effects within the $3+1$ active-to-sterile neutrino oscillation framework. We analyze the neutrino candidate events for the recent measurements of charged-current $\nu_e$ and $\nu_{\mu}$ interactions in the MicroBooNE detector, using data corresponding to an exposure of 6.37$\times$10$^{20}$ protons on target from the Fermilab booster neutrino beam. We observe no evidence of light sterile neutrino oscillations and derive exclusion contours at the $95\%$ confidence level in the plane of the mass-squared splitting $\Delta m^2_{41}$ and the sterile neutrino mixing angles $\theta_{\mu e}$ and $\theta_{ee}$, excluding part of the parameter space allowed by experimental anomalies. Cancellation of $\nu_e$ appearance and $\nu_e$ disappearance effects due to the full $3+1$ treatment of the analysis leads to a degeneracy when determining the oscillation parameters, which is discussed in this paper and will be addressed by future analyses.

A possible solution to the gallium anomaly moving beyond the leptonic wave function factorization
A non-factorized amplitude treatment with a fitted sign-changing nuclear transition density reduces the predicted νe-71Ga capture rate by ~20%, absorbing the gallium anomaly without new physics.

First Search for Neutral Current Coherent Single-Photon Production in MicroBooNE
The first search for neutrino-induced neutral-current coherent single-photon production finds no signal and sets a 90% CL cross-section limit of 1.49e-41 cm², about 24 times the Standard Model prediction.

Impact of light sterile neutrinos on cosmological large scale structure
Sterile neutrinos suppress the matter power spectrum and halo mass and velocity functions while increasing halo pairwise infall velocities, with effects up to tens of percent for the most massive cases studied.
