Testing the OPERA superluminal neutrino anomaly at the LHC

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 …
