Time-Shift in the OPERA set-up: proof against superluminal neutrinos without the need of knowing the CERN-LNGS distance and Reminiscences on the origin of the Gran Sasso Lab, of the 3rd neutrino and of the 'Teramo Anomaly'

摘要

The LVD time stability allows to establish a time-shift in the OPERAexperiment, thus providing the first proof against Superluminal neutrinos,using the horizontal muons of the "Teramo Anomaly". This proof is particularlyinteresting since does not need the knowledge of the distance between the placewhere the neutrinos are produced (CERN) and the place where they are detected(LNGS). Since the Superluminal neutrinos generated in the physics community avivid interest in good and bad behaviour in physics research, the authorthought it was appropriate to recall the origin of the Gran Sasso Lab, of the3rd neutrino, of the horizontal muons due to the "Teramo Anomaly" and of theoscillation between leptonic flavours, when the CERN-Gran Sasso neutrino beamwas included in the project for the most powerful underground Laboratory in theworld.
