Testing the OPERA superluminal neutrino anomaly at the LHC
The OPERA Collaboration has reported the observation of superluminal muon neutrinos, whose speed ${v}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ exceeds that of light $c$, with $({v}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}\ensuremath{-}c)/c\ensuremath{\simeq}2.5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$. In a recent work, Cohen and Glashow have refuted this claim by noting that such neutrinos will lose energy, by pair emission of particles, at unacceptable rates. Following the …
