Extended Lorentz code of a superluminal particle

Abstract

While the OPERA experimental scrutiny is ongoing in the community, in the present article we construct a toy model of {\it extended Lorentz code} (ELC) of the uniform motion, which will be a well established consistent and unique theoretical framework to explain the apparent violations of the standard Lorentz code (SLC), the possible manifestations of which arise in a similar way in all particle sectors. We argue that in the ELC-framework the propagation of the superluminal particle, which implies the modified dispersion relation, could be consistent with causality. Furthermore, in this framework, we give a justification of forbiddance of Vavilov-Cherenkov (VC)-radiation/or analog processes in vacuum. To be consistent with the SN1987A and OPERA data, we identify the neutrinos from SN1987A and the light as so-called {\it 1-th type} particles carrying the {\it individual Lorentz motion code} with the velocity of light $c_1\equiv c$ in vacuum as maximum attainable velocity for all the 1-th type particles. Thereby, we treat superluminal muon neutrinos as so-called {\it 2-nd type} particles carrying the individual Lorentz motion code with the velocity $c_2$ as maximum attainable velocity for all the 2-nd type particles. For the muon neutrinos mean energy $E_{\nu 2}=17.5$ GeV, claimed velocity $(v_{\nu 2}-c)/c=2.48\times 10^{-5}$, and expected finite rest mass $m_0\approx 1eV/c^2$, we obtain then $c_2/c\approx 17.5\times 10^9$.
