利用折射探测超光速中微子
Probing Superluminal Neutrinos Via Refraction
摘要：
中微子超光速传播的一个唯象解释是，中微子在物质内部的传播速度比在真空中快，这可能已经被OPERA和MINOS观测到。如果是这样的话，中微子在物质内部表现出折射，并且应该表现出折射的其他表现，例如偏转和反射。这种折射很容易通过施加到插入中微子束中的适当形状的折射材料上的动量来检测。对于NuMI，这可能高达~ 10 g cm/s。如果这些效应被发现，它们将提供操纵和探测中微子的新方法。给出了这种情况似乎不可信的原因，但仍然值得进行简单的中微子差折射的搜索。
英文摘要：
One phenomenological explanation of superluminal propagation of neutrinos, which may have been observed by OPERA and MINOS, is that neutrinos travel faster inside of matter than in vacuum. If so neutrinos exhibit refraction inside matter and should exhibit other manifestations of refraction, such as deflection and reflection. Such refraction would be easily detectable through the momentum imparted to appropriately shaped refractive material inserted into the neutrino beam. For NuMI this could be as large as ~10g cm/s. If these effect were found, they would provide new ways of manipulating and detecting neutrinos. Reasons why this scenario seems implausible are given, however it is still worthwhile to conduct simple searches for differential refraction of neutrinos.
