Status and perspectives of short baseline studies
The study of flavor changing neutrinos is a very active field of research. I
will discuss the status of ongoing and near term experiments investigating
neutrino properties at short distances from the source. In the next few years,
the Double Chooz, RENO and Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiments will start
looking for signatures of a non-zero value of the mixing angle
with much improved sensitivities. The MiniBooNE experiment is investigating the
LSND anomaly by looking at both the and
appearance channels. Recent results on
cross section measurements will be discussed briefly.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the 11th

MINERvA : High statistics neutrino scattering using a fine-grained detector
The MINERvA experiment at Fermilab will use a fully-active scintillator
based fine grained neutrino detector and the high rate NuMI neutrino
beam. MINERvA will measure low energy neutrino interaction properties
and cross sections to a new level of precision. These measurements will
be critical input to present and future accelerator-based neutrino
oscillation experiments in this energy range
