abstract

The new data release of OPERA - CNGS experiment, obtained with a shorter spill of protons, confirms the tachyionic behavior expected from the phenomenological model of a Majorana neutrino with a fictitious imaginary mass term acquired during the propagation in the Earth's crust, recently presented by us. We performed numerical simulations of neutrino event detections to compare the properties of these Majorana tachyons with the new OPERA results, finding a good agreement. The possibility of spin-to orbital angular momentum conversion that is expected to give a negative squared mass in a medium, is also briefly discussed.
