Abstract
The quest for \(\theta_{13}\) in the 2010s prompted new models for reactor \(\bar{\nu}_{e}\) spectra, which marked the emergence of the reactor antineutrino anomaly. Several projects worldwide were designed to study the anomaly and investigate the possible existence of extra sterile neutrino families. This article reports an overview of the most recent experimental results on the search for reactor neutrino oscillation at very short baseline, and their implication in our current understanding of the reactor antineutrino anomaly and the sterile neutrino hypothesis.
