Superluminal neutrinos and extra dimensions: constraints from the null energy condition

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-05-30 v2

Abstract

In light of the recent results from the OPERA collaboration, indicating that neutrinos can travel superluminally, I review a simple extra-dimensional strategy for accommodating such behavior; and I also explain why it is hard in this strategy to avoid violating the null energy condition somewhere in the extra dimensions.
