Special relativity is consistent with the opera measurements of the neutrino "velocity"
Abstract
We show that special relativity (SR) may be consistent with the OPERA measurements of the neutrino velocity provided the latter is corrected for the second order term in V2/c2 implied by the velocity, V, of the alpha particles from radioactive rocks of the experiment area, when properly accounted for in the SR velocity addition law. An upper bound has been set on the velocity of the OPERA neutrinos by using the deformed dispersion relation suggested by the result of the experiment OPERA itself.
