First we call the attention that velocity defined by ratio between some intervals of space and time respectively is sometimes ambiguous, in the framework of quantum theory. Velocity in general is not possible to be well defined as some…

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 CERN-OPERA experiment claims to have measured a one-way speed of neutrinos that is apparently faster than the speed of light c. One-way speed measurements such as these inevitably require a convention for the synchronisation of clocks…

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…

Scientists from the OPERA experiment have measured neutrinos supposedly travelling at a velocity faster than light contrary to the theory of relativity. Even when the measurements are precise, the interpretation of this problem is being…

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…

Time-of-flight measurements such as the OPERA and MINOS experiments rely crucially on statistical analysis (as well as many other ingredients) for their conclusions. The nature of these experiments leads to a simple class of statistical…

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…

In this report are recalled in a simple form some of the main concepts about neutrinos, starting from their discovery and classifying them in the Standard Model of the Microcosm. Then are presented the main natural sources of neutrinos,…

The set of kinetic equations describing the process of conversion of a beam of protons into mesons and then to neutrinos is solved. The asymptotic evolution of the density profile of neutrinos is essentially the same as that obtained in the…

The OPERA collaboration reported [1] a measurement of the neutrino velocity exceeding the speed of light by 0.025%. For the 730 km distance from CERN in Geneva to the OPERA experiment an early arrival of the neutrinos of 60.7 ns is measured…

The result of the OPERA experiment revealed that the velocity of muon-neutrinos was larger than the speed of light. We argue that this apparent superluminal velocity can be interpreted as a weak value, which is a new concept recently…

Considering the OPERA neutrino-velocity measurement from the point of view of a GPS satellite we find that the detector at Gran Sasso has a velocity component in the order of $10^{-5}c$ towards the neutrino emission location at CERN. On…

In the context of the sensational results concerning superluminal velocities, announced recently by the OPERA Collaboration, we have proposed a classical model yielding a statistically calculated measured velocity of a beam, higher than the…

The recent OPERA measurement of high-energy neutrino velocity, once independently verified, implies new physics in the neutrino sector. We revisit the theoretical inconsistency of the fundamental high-energy cutoff attributing to quantum…

A simple discussion of the recent OPERA result on the apparent critical speed of the muon neutrino is presented. We point out in particular some of the possible consistency problems of such an interpretation of the OPERA data with respect…

Recent results from the OPERA experiment reported a neutrino beam traveling faster than light. The experiment measured the neutrino time of flight (TOF) over a baseline from the CERN to the Gran Sasso site. The neutrino beam arrives 60 ns…

According to the measurement of muon-neutrino experiment done by the OPERA collaboration, the speed of high-energy neutrino exceeds that of light in vacuum by 25ppm. Assuming that this result is correct, a possible resolution of the dilemma…

In spring 2012 CERN provided two weeks of a short bunch proton beam dedicated to the neutrino velocity measurement over a distance of 730 km. The OPERA neutrino experiment at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory used an upgraded setup…
