Searches for a light sterile neutrino have been performed independently by the MINOS and the Daya Bay experiments using the muon (anti)neutrino and electron antineutrino disappearance channels, respectively. In this Letter, results from both experiments are combined with those from the Bugey-3 reactor neutrino experiment to constrain oscillations into light sterile neutrinos. The three experiments are sensitive to complementary regions of parameter space, enabling the combined analysis to probe regions allowed by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) and MiniBooNE experiments in a minimally extended four-neutrino flavor framework. Stringent limits on sin^{2}2θ_{μe} are set over 6 orders of magnitude in the sterile mass-squared splitting Δm_{41}^{2}. The sterile-neutrino mixing phase space allowed by the LSND and MiniBooNE experiments is excluded for Δm_{41}^{2}<0.8 eV^{2} at 95% CL_{s}.
米诺斯实验和大亚湾实验分别利用μ子（反）中微子和电子反中微子消失通道，独立开展了对轻惰性中微子的搜寻。在本信函中，将这两个实验的结果与布热伊 - 3反应堆中微子实验的结果相结合，以限制向轻惰性中微子的振荡。这三个实验对参数空间的互补区域敏感，使得联合分析能够在最小扩展的四味中微子框架下探测液体闪烁体中微子探测器（LSND）和迷你泡室（MiniBooNE）实验所允许的区域。在惰性质量平方差Δm₄₁²的6个数量级范围内，对sin²2θμe设定了严格限制。对于Δm₄₁² < 0.8 eV²，在95% CLs的置信水平下，排除了LSND和MiniBooNE实验所允许的惰性中微子混合相空间。
