“…peaking at 3 GeV with a tail extending above 100 GeV), the MINOS experiment reported a measurement of v−c c = (5.1 ± 2.9) × 10 −5 , [50]. In the past, a high-energy (E > 30 GeV) and short baseline experiment, [48,49], was able to test deviations down to v−c c < 4 × 10 −5 .…”

We reconsider Lorentz Violation (LV) at the fundamental level. We argue that Lorentz Violation is intimately connected with gravity and that LV couplings in QFT must always be fields in a gravitational sector. Diffeomorphism covariance, implementing general charnges of frame, is intact and the LV couplings transform as tensors under coordinate/frame changes. Therefore searching for LV is one of the most sensitive ways of looking for new physics, either new interactions or modifications of known ones. Energy dissipation/Cerenkov radiation is shown to be a generic feature of LV in QFT. A general computation is done in strongly coupled theories with gravity duals. It is shown that in scale invariant regimes, the energy dissipation rate depends non-trivially on two characteristic exponents, the Lifshitz exponent and the hyperscaling violation exponent.

“…The expression for the neutrino velocity (6) can be directly applied to this type of study in beam experiments [31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Notice that for operators of dimension d = 3 there is no modification to the neutrino velocity, whereas for d = 4 this modification is independent of the energy E ≈ |p p p|.…”

“…Since OPERA deals with neutrinos with mean energy E = 17 GeV and observes (v−c)/c = (2.48 ± 0.28 ± 0.30) × 10 −5 , the corresponding tachyonic mass value ismc 2 = (110 − 130) MeV at 1σ, and (85 − 146) MeV at 3σ (statistical and systematic errors are summed in quadrature) 2 . This is also graphically shown in fig.1.…”

Abstract:The OPERA Collaboration reported evidence for muonic neutrinos traveling slightly faster than light in vacuum. While waiting further checks from the experimental community, here we aim at exploring some theoretical consequences of the hypothesis that muonic neutrinos are superluminal, considering in particular the tachyonic and the Coleman-Glashow cases. We show that a tachyonic interpretation is not only hardly reconciled with OPERA data on energy dependence, but that it clashes with neutrino production from pion and with neutrino oscillations. A Coleman-Glashow superluminal neutrino beam would also have problems with pion decay kinematics for the OPERA setup; it could be easily reconciled with SN1987a data, but then it would be very problematic to account for neutrino oscillations.
