Pair Production Constraints on Superluminal Neutrinos Revisited

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-12-13 v2

Abstract

We revisit the pair creation constraint on superluminal neutrinos considered by Cohen and Glashow in order to clarify which types of superluminal models are constrained. We show that a model in which the superluminal neutrino is effectively light-like can evade the Cohen-Glashow constraint.
