Superluminal neutrinos and extra dimensions: constraints from the null energy condition
arXiv:1109.5687 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2011.10.028
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.
