OPERA Superluminal Neutrinos per Quantum Trajectories
arXiv:1112.4779
Abstract
Quantum trajectories are used to study OPERA findings regarding superluminal neutrinos. As the applicable stationary quantum Klein-Gordon equation is real, real quantum reduced actions and subsequent real quantum trajectories follow. The requirements for superluminal neutrinos are examined. A neutrino that is self-entangled by its own backscatter is shown to have a nonlocal quantum trajectory that may generate a superluminal transit time. Various cases are shown to produce theoretical superluminal neutrinos consistent with OPERA neutrinos. Quantum trajectories are also shown to provide insight into neutrino oscillations.
11 pages of LaTeX2e with 2 figures embedded. Born weighting functions have been applied to the distribution of quantum trajectories of neutrinos that are entangled by backscatter to render superluminal propagation consistent with OPERA observation. This changes findings. Also minor wordsmithing
