Superluminal neutrinos and the Standard Model

TL;DR

This paper discusses superluminal neutrino observations, proposing a model where neutrino-photon relative velocity depends weakly on energy with threshold effects, reconciling conflicting experimental results.

Contribution

It introduces a theoretical explanation for superluminal neutrino data that accounts for energy-dependent velocity jumps and aligns with existing experimental observations.

Findings

Explains superluminal neutrino observations without violating relativity

Shows velocity depends weakly on energy with threshold effects

Reconciles OPERA and Supernova neutrino data

Abstract

Recently the OPERA collaboration {\cite{opera}} has reported the observation of superluminal neutrinos traveling a distance of 730 km from Grand Sasso Laboratory to CERN.These results contradict the basic tenet of the Theory of Special Relativity: No particle can travel faster than light in vacuum. Moreover they seem to be in conflict with the speed of (anti)neutrinos detected from the explosion of the SP1987A Super Nova{\cite{SP1987A}}.Here we show that the relative velocity between neutrino and photon has the following property: It depends weakly on the energy of the particle excepts in certain regions(thresholds) where discrete jumps appear.This explains both Opera and SP1987A Super Nova data.
