SUPERLUMINAL NEUTRINOS
Various Aspects of Superluminal Neutrinos, If They Exist

• Bremsstrahlung and Cherenkov radiation: These topics now have their own page.

• Causality:
  • Superluminal Neutrinos in Matter and Causality by B. D. O. Adams [2012/02] Argues from QED that electromagnetic fields in matter will modify speed of light to permit superluminal particles, but that induction will prevent closed timelike loops.

• Cosmology:
  • Olber's Paradox for Superluminal Neutrinos: Constraining Extreme Neutrino Speeds at TeV-ZeV Energies with the Diffuse Neutrino Background by Brian C. Lacki [2011/11] A serious issue for all superluminal-particle theories: why isn't the sky full of them? Lacki tries to constrain neutrino velocities from neutrino (non-)observations of star-forming galaxies.
  • On determination of the geometric cosmological constant from the OPERA experiment of superluminal neutrinos by Mu-Lin Yan et al. [2011/12] According to the authors' particular explanation of superluminality.
  • Neutrino Velocity and the Variability of Fundamental Constants by Victor Flambaum and Maxim Pospelov [2012/06]

• Double Beta-Decay:
  • Closing the neutrinoless double beta decay window into violations of the equivalence principle and/or Lorentz invariance by A. Halprin and R. R. Volkas [Physics Letters B 459, 183 (1999)]
  • Localizability of Tachyonic Particles and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay by Ulrich D. Jentschura and B. J. Wundt [2012/01]

• Electroweak Physics:
  • The electroweak theory with a priori superluminal neutrinos and its physical consequences by C. A. Dartora and G. G. Cabrera [2011/12]

• Energy-velocity relationship: This topic now has its own page.

• Field Theory:
  • Localizability of Tachyonic Particles and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay by Ulrich D. Jentschura and B. J. Wundt [2012/01]

• Gamma-ray bursts have not been observed to produce neutrinos: Instead of showing that the standard "fireball" model of GRBs is incorrect, perhaps it just means that the neutrinos arrived before the photons.
  • GRB neutrinos, Lorenz Invariance Violation and the influence of background cosmology by Marek Biesiada and Aleksandra Piórkowska [J. Cosmol. & Astropart. Phys. 0705, 001 (2007)] Calculate time lags for Lorentz-violating high-energy neutrinos in different cosmological models.
  • The neutrino velocity anomaly as an explanation of the missing observation of neutrinos in coincidence with GRB by D. Autiero et al. [2011/09]
  • Search for neutrino emission of gamma-ray flaring blazars with the ANTARES telescope by D. Dornic et al. [2011/10] Deals with gamma-ray flares from blazars rather than with GRBs, and does not mention superluminal possibility, but would seem to deal with same basic issue.
    • Search for Neutrino Emission from Gamma-Ray Flaring Blazars with the ANTARES Telescope by S. Adrián-Martínez et al. [2011/11] Studied 10 blazars; saw 1 possible neutrino, but even it was within error bars for background noise.
  • Probes of Lorentz Violation by John Ellis and Nick E. Mavromatos [2011/11]

• General Relativity:
  • Exact deflection of a Neutral-Tachyon in the Kerr's Gravitational field by G. V. Kraniotis [2011/10] If done correctly, this should be relevant to the Earth as well.
  • Comment on superluminality in general relativity by Dieter Lust and Marios Petropoulos [2011/10] Argues that luxon can appear to move faster than light in certain reference frames.
  • Stability of the scalar and neutrino tachyons in the rotating and expanding Universe by R. A. Konoplya and A. Zhidenko [2011/10]
  • Can Mathisson-Papapetrou equations give clue to some problems in astrophysics? by Roman Plyatsko [2011/10] MP Equations are one possible generalisation of the Dirac equation in the presence of gravity.

• Neutrino decay: Forbidden by special relativity, but maybe possible with ultra-high momentum of a superluminal neutrino.
  • Constraints from Neutrino Decay on Superluminal Velocities by J. M. Carmona and J. L. Cortes [2011/10]

• Neutrino mass:
  • Resolving 8 OPERA problems with superluminal neutrinos by Robert Ehrlich [2011/10]
  • Probing neutrino masses with neutrino-speed experiments by Dharam V. Ahluwalia et al. [2011/10]

• Neutrino velocity-oscillations:
  • Cosmic Ray and Neutrino Tests of Special Relativity by Sidney Coleman and Sheldon L. Glashow [Physics Letters B 405, 249 (1997)]
  • Oscillations of Neutrino Velocity by Branislav Sazdović and Milovan Vasilić [2012/10]

• Pion decays: This topic now has its own page.

• Radioactivity:
  • Resolving 8 OPERA problems with superluminal neutrinos by Robert Ehrlich [2011/10]

• Supernovæ:
  • Probing Lorentz Violation in Neutrino Propagation from a Core-Collapse Supernova by John Ellis et al. [2011/10] "We analyze simulations of such neutrino emissions using a wavelet technique, and consider the limits that might be set on a linear or quadratic violation of Lorentz invariance in the group velocities of neutrinos of different energies ... "

• Supersymmetry:
  • Supersymmetric tachyons by Li Xinzhou and Lu Jizong [Journal of Physics A 20, 6113 (1987)] Superluminal neutrinos mentioned only because their existence would have implications for photino mass.
