Light Sterile Neutrinos in the Supersymmetric U(1)' Models and Axion   Models
  We propose the minimal supersymmetric sterile neutrino model (MSSNM) where the sterile neutrino masses are about 1 eV, while the active neutrino masses and the mixings among the active and sterile neutrinos are generated during late time phase transition. All the current experimental neutrino data include the LSND can be explained simultaneously, and the constraints on the sterile neutrinos from the big bang nucleosynthesis and large scale structure can be evaded. To realize the MSSNM naturally, we consider the supersymmetric intermediate-scale U(1)' model, the low energy U(1)' model with a secluded U(1)'-breaking sector, and the DFSZ and KSVZ axion models. In these models, the $\mu$ problem can be solved elegantly, and the 1 eV sterile neutrino masses can be generated via high-dimensional operators. For the low energy U(1)' model with a secluded U(1)'-breaking sector, we also present a scenario in which the masses and mixings for the active and sterile neutrinos are all generated during late time phase transition.
