Confirm, after I fixed some error-analysis ( — binomial coefficient and error analysis) and fixed the speed-of-light-unit calculations I seethatOPERA-experiment does not even need to look beyond what errorthey might have done.~1 part per billion of eV (ppb) erroron theirneutrino-massequivalentto~274 ppm of 1 eV erroron theirneutrino momentumequivalent to~1 KeV erroron theirneutrino-energyissufficientto produce an error on theirneutrino speedto the extent of> 8.23 km/second, which already washes awaythe 7.5 kms/second, I will give you more details later.
1 KeV on 17 GeVthats a ~10^(-5) precision. I doubt it.
The brilliance of number, the precisionis in the order of 10^(-5) which is what beta is for speeds at 5.1 km/s order.
Its a precision of energy at a fixed time precision that decides the speed excess is a result or an uncertainty? The minimum-minimum error on QM says OPERA result is an uncertaintyunlessthey show us that they have say equal to less than 0.5 or 0.2 KeV error on their neutrino energy. Thats just an ideal, one might have to show much better precision on neutrino energyin a complicated scenario.
[…] UPDATED: OPERA has lost it’s claim on superluminal neutrino UPDATE; 10 Dec 2011: There is an update to this analysis which will change the results but is much more stringent on OPERA. SO the following should be taken as a partial attempt. Check here for latest result: Bad news for OPERA […]
[…] I had done which influences the values given in this article but not the ideas, That article is: Bad news for OPERA, that article does not have tight values given although the underlying calculations are very very […]
