Possible "sterile neutrino" detection Fermilab, Chicago

Back in the mid-1990s, the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND), an experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, found evidence of a mysterious new particle: a "sterile neutrino" that passes through matter without interacting with it. But that result couldn't be replicated; other experiments simply couldn't find any trace of the hidden particle. So the result was set aside.

Now, MiniBooNE — a follow-up experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), located near Chicago — has picked up the hidden particle's scent again. A new paper posted to the preprint server arXiv offers such a compelling enough the missing neutrino to make physicists sit up and notice.

Is anyone talking about 'sterile neutrinos' as Dark Matter candidate yet?

I was told, quite categorically in fact keep your silly ideas to yourself, that they are not and it's a very old paper and it's not thought of very highly at all.
So that put me in my place!
