nutrino formation

Are you asking how it happens inside a star?

Perhaps but more particularly at Cern before it goes on holiday to Italy.

If you're wondering what caused the neutrino mystery with regard to special relativity, that's been solved already. There are a couple of other threads on it.

Or did you have something else in mind with your question?

No, but it would be helpful if you gave the thread reference.

Here, I found it...

OK. my mistake, I had no idea that the forum had already chewed this subject. However, I didn't see any difinitive conclusion so I can't agree that the subject is closed.
I had an idea that what might be involved is two speeds. The first speed being an inflationary-like speed before the nutrino is fully formed and then followed by a more sedate sub-light speed.
As I understand it only mass is forbidden to exceed light speed and therefore before a particle is formed it might have no mass at all and may be able to travel much faster than light as nothing more than field information (say).
It might be interesting to see how results change with the detector at various distances starting from perhaps a few metres.

If I remember correctly, one of the news articles reported that the group who did the initial testing failed to take Special Relativity into account for the time intervals on the GPS satellites they were using. Once the SR offsets were applied, the numbers for neutrino speed came right into line.

The New Scientist must be out of date at this weeks issue (21st Oct 11) because it states the puzzle still exists.

The problem seems to be that there are many possible solutions and none have them have been completely proven, yet.

Can you provide a link to the article, or is it subscription only?

I tried but I cannot crack The New Scientist site and give you a reference ( I am pretty hopeless at such things). However, the article is there under Maths and Physics articles.
