Neutrinos with velocities greater thanc?

Abstract: A possible explanation of the results of the OPERA experiment is presented. Assuming that the usual value of c should be interpreted as the velocity of light in dark matter, we call the "true" velocity of light in vacuum, ct. Then the OPERA neutrinos can be faster than c but slower than ct. We also discuss the relationship between ct and neutrino masses.

“…Notably, despite the vast body of theoretical research on the topic [e.g., [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], no attempt has been undertaken to produce a point prediction of the results reported by OPERA, and by other collaborations, who replicated the "null" result.…”

“…The NOVA experiments require an accurate knowledge of the neutrino speeds; so if there is any SL anomaly Nova should be able to discover it. Finally, as stressed earlier, there exists already a large literature on the subject of superluminality analyzed from different perspectives; for an incomplete sample of some of the more recent papers on SL and the LT modifications see [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…Numerous attempts on the field-theory level have been made during last few months to explain neutrino superluminality. Within this approach the phenomenon is explained by neutrino interaction with artificially introduced auxiliary fields [6] emanated by the Earth, or even such construct as a dark matter [7,8].…”
