Precision measurement of the neutrino velocity with the ICARUS detector in the CNGS beam

Abstract: During May 2012, the CERN-CNGS neutrino beam has been operated for two weeks for a total of ∼ 1.8 × 10 17 p.o.t., with the proton beam made of bunches, few ns wide and separated by 100 ns. This beam structure allows a very accurate time of flight measurement of neutrinos from CERN to LNGS on an event-by-event basis.Both the ICARUS-T600 PMT-DAQ and the CERN-LNGS timing synchronization have been substantially improved for this campaign, taking advantage of additional independent GPS receivers, both at CERN and L… Show more

“…However, MINOS experiment has been ignored by the physics community as not sufficiently reliable, and OPERA experiment has been refuted in six months by ICARUS experiment [11]. What is more, during those six months several dozen scientific publications have been devoted to the search for OPERA experiment refutation options.…”

“…There have been the whole series of neutrino velocity experiments such as the OPERA collaborations with the detector in the CNGS beam [1] (versions 1, 2 and 3), the OPERA detector the CNGS beam using the 2012 dedicated data [2] (versions 1 and 2) as well as the ICARUS detector in the CNGS beam [3] (versions 1 and 2).…”

“…OPERA collaborators also published the results from a measurement of a special bunched neutrino beam [2] (version 2) giving the precision measurement of the muon neutrino and muon anti-neutrino velocities, in good agreement with c, the velocity of light. Other, so called Gran Sasso laboratory repeated the measurements and obtained c, the velocity of light, for the neutrino velocity [3] (version 2). Now, the masses of flavor neutrinos, whose velocities one can measure, are not yet known precisely but are calculated as exactly as possible from the provided masses of the mass state neutrinos.…”

“…They aimed to detect superluminal neutrinos and thus prove physical reality of imaginary numbers. However, physical community considered the experiments unreliable and denied them by the ICARUS experiment [11]. Or, to be more precise, ICARUS experiment denied only the refutation of the principle of light speed non-exceedance alleged by the MINOS and OPERA experiments, but didn't proved the validity of this principle.…”
