Pizza & Physics at Lunchtime
In September 2011, the OPERA collaboration published a paper where they claimed to have measured myon neutrinos, exceeding the speed of light. I will briefly repeat the main points of the experiment and then discuss several constraints, e.g. the Cohen-Glashow bremsstrahlung, which are quite challenging for new models to explain the observations.
