Evidence for two neutrino mass eigenstates from SN 1987A and the possibility of superluminal neutrinos
This paper reports a new phenomenological analysis of the neutrino burst
detected from SN 1987 A, and it reveals the presence of two mass eigenstates.
The heavier mass eigenstate has , while the lighter
one has . It is not the first paper to make such a
claim, but it expands on a 1988 conditional analysis by Cowsik, and it attempts
to make the evidence more robust through an improved statistical analysis, and
through providing reasons why alternative explanations are unlikely. It also
shows how the result can be made consistent with existing smaller electron
neutrino mass limits with the existence of a third tachyonic (superluminal)
mass eigenstate.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure
Review of the empirical evidence for superluminal particles and the model of the neutrino masses
A review is given of hypothetical faster-than-light tachyons and the
development of the author's model of the neutrino mass states, which
includes one tachyonic mass state doublet. Published empirical evidence for the
model is summarized, including an interpretation of the mysterious Mont Blanc
neutrino burst from SN 1987A as being due to tachyonic neutrinos having
This possibility requires an 8 MeV antineutrino line from SN
1987A, which a new dark matter model has been found to support. Furthermore,
this dark matter model is supported by several data sets: rays from
the galactic center, and the Kamiokande-II neutrino data on the day of SN
1987A. The KATRIN experiment should serve as the unambiguous test of the
model and its tachyonic mass state
