Superluminal Neutrinos from Special Relativity with de Sitter Space-time Symmetry
Abstract
We explore the recent OPERA experiment of superluminal neutrinos in the framework of Special Relativity with de Sitter space-time symmetry (dS-SR). According to Einstein a photon is treated as a massless particle in the framework of Special Relativity. In Special Relativity (SR) we have the universal parameter , the photon velocity and the phase velocity of a light wave in vacuum . Due to the null experiments of Michelson-Morley we have . The parameter is determined by the Noether charges corresponding to the space-time symmetries of SR. In Einstein's Special Relativity (E-SR) we have . In dS-SR, i.e. the Special Relativity with SO(4,1) de Sitter space-time symmetry, we have . In this paper, the OPERA datum are examined in the framework of dS-SR. We show that OPREA anomaly is in agreement with the prediction of dS-SR with Based on the - relation of dS-SR, we also prove that the Cohen and Glashow's argument of possible superluminal neutrino's Cherenkov-like radiation is forbidden. We conclude that OPERA and ICARUS results are consistent and they are explained in the dS-SR framework.
