Abstract: MiniBooNE has recently updated both their short baseline neutrino oscillation and sub-GeV dark matter analyses. Both results have strong implications for the dark sector. The oscillation analyses suggests the existence of at least one sterile neutrino, while the null results from the sub-GeV dark matter search have placed the most stringent limits to date, on the vector portal dark...

We set constraints on millicharged particles (mCPs) based on electron scattering data from MiniBooNE and the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND). Both experiments are found to provide new (and leading) constraints in certain mCP mass windows: 5 − 35 MeV for LSND and 100 − 180 MeV for MiniBooNE. Furthermore, we provide projections for the ongoing Fermilab SBN program, the Deep...
