报告题目:Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos: Real Stuff or Phantoms of the OPERA?

报 告 人:吴咏时,复旦大学

报告时间:10月31日下午4:00

报告地点:金沙总站6165地址科学馆一楼104报告厅

报告摘要:About one month ago the OPERA Collaboration announced that they have measured neutrinos (with energy about 17 GeV) traveling from CERN near Geneva, Switzerland to Gran Sasso laboratory in central Italy faster than the speed light (with time of flight about 60 ns shorter). If true, this result is extraordinary. However, there are many reasons to be skeptical. In this colloquium-level talk, I will give some background on the underground neutrino experiments, review the potentially revolutionary news from OPERA, discuss relevant issues and comment on certain recent theoretical papers.
