OPERA experiment reports anomaly in flight time of neutrinos from CERN to Gran Sasso
Following the OPERA collaboration’s
presentation at CERN on 23 September, inviting scrutiny of their
neutrino time-of-flight measurement from the broader particle physics
community, the collaboration has rechecked many aspects of its analysis
and taken into account valuable suggestions from a wide range of
sources. One key test was to repeat the measurement with very short beam
pulses from CERN. This allowed the extraction time of the protons, that
ultimately lead to the neutrino beam, to be measured more precisely.
