We discuss a conceptual issue concerning the neutrino velocity measurement, in connection with the statistical method employed by the OPERA collaboration for the inference of the neutrino time of flight. We expound the theoretical framework…
An interpretation of the recent results reported by the OPERA collaboration is that neutrinos propagation in vacuum exceeds the speed of light. It has been further been suggested that this interpretation can be attributed to the variation…
The OPERA collaboration reported [1] an anomaly in the ratio of the speed of neutrinos to the speed of light of (v-c)/c =(2.48\pm0.28 (stat.) \pm 0.30 (sys.))\times10-5. I identify sources of systematic uncertainty that were not considered…
The LVD time stability allows to establish a time-shift in the OPERA experiment, thus providing the first proof against Superluminal neutrinos, using the horizontal muons of the "Teramo Anomaly". This proof is particularly interesting since…
We argue that the neutrino advance of time observed in MINOS and OPERA experiments can be explained in the framework of the standard relativistic quantum theory as a manifestation of the large effective transverse size of the eigenmass…
The recent result by the OPERA experiment, confirming a trend already present in a previous result by MINOS, raises the question of a possible strong violation of standard relativity. In particular, the particles of the standard model would…
Recently the OPERA collaboration reported a measurement of a superluminal speed of muon neutrinos travelling through the Earth's crust between their production site at CERN and their detection site under Gran Sasso, ~730 km away. The…
Based on the developed cross-correlation theory for remote location of neutrino source with two-detector setup for neutrino detection the modification of arrangement of the OPERA experiment is suggested. Within the framework of computing…
The authors of the OPERA experiment [arXiv:1109.4897] claim that "the measurement indicates an early arrival time of CNGS muon neutrinos with respect to the one computed assuming the speed of light in vacuum". In this note we analyze the…
The OPERA collaboration has claimed that muon neutrinos with mean energy of 17.5 GeV travel 730 km from CERN to the Gran Sasso at a speed exceeding that of light by about 7.5 km/s or 25 ppm. However, we show that such superluminal neutrinos…
In this report a potential problem in the data analysis of the OPERA experiment is discussed: the main issue is that the quantity \partial t used in the maximum likelihood procedure is not a "true" parameter of the parent-distribution…
The OPERA collabotation has reported evidence of superluminal neutrinos with a mean energy 17.5 GeV ranging up to 50 GeV. However, the superluminal interpretation of the OPERA results has been recently refuted theoretically by…
In the OPERA experiment, the time of arrival of the neutrino light curve at LNGS is defined by a best-fit to the generating proton PDF at CERN. By a two parameter matched filtering procedure, we determine that the OPERA neutrino light curve…

Proceeding from a solution of field equations that are improved versions of Einstein's nonvacuum gravitational field equations one is able to calculate precisely the trajectories of particles traveling inside a nonrotating, homogeneous,…
The purpose of this work is to report the measurement of a time-shift in the OPERA set-up in a totally independent way from Time Of Flight (TOF) measurements of CNGS neutrino events. The LVD and OPERA experiments are both installed in the…
During the years 2009 to 2011, neutrino beams were fired repeatedly from CERN towards a detector in Italy's Gran Sasso tunnel, some 4 deg south and 7 deg east of CERN, at a distance of 730.5 km, in the shape of short bunches of particles.…
The recent publication in ArXiv of "Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam" has attracted many interest due to the possible theoretical or phenomenological interpretation of the results. A subtle…
We show that special relativity (SR) may be consistent with the OPERA measurements of the neutrino velocity provided the latter is corrected for the second order term in V^2/c^2 implied by the velocity, V, of the alpha particles from…
The OPERA collaboration has announced to have observed superluminal neutrinos with a mean energy 17.5 GeV, but afterward the superluminal interpretation of the OPERA results has been refuted theoretically by Cherenkov-like radiation and…
