If the shift calculated by the leading and trailing edges seperately were different, by a significant amount, then that would be very interesting and *might* support your case. Can you show this data? I can't seem to find it in the original article. I don't have the actual data and I wasn't calcula...

... since the pulse shape of the detected neutrinos is the same as that of the proton beam Whole pulse is over 10,000 ns long. 60 ns is just 0.6 % of it - that is about a pixel on that graph. It will still match the waveform pretty well if you shift the red curve one pixel to the right. But if this...

But so far, no-one seems to have suggested a mechanism that would mean there are more neutrinos sampled from the front of the pulse than the end. There is one difference in conditions for pulse head versus pulse tail - pulse head hits way cooler target material than the tail. The question is whethe...

I guess the point being if someone at Fermilab had come up with a measly $400k in 2005 it could have been OPERA confirming MINOS' results not the other way around. Two sigma statistical certainity doesn't count as discovery in particle physics, six sigma does if confirmed. Nobody actually believed ...

As far as I know, Minos has measured similar difference in neutrino speed and got similar result to OPERA's, just with lower accuracy (about two sigma effect).

As far as I know it's investigating of ellastic collisions between protons for TOTEM experiment.

Will there be a follow up conference where suggestions are discussed? I doubt it, unless they find where did they do the error. Regarding your suggested mechanism: Shifting the whole pulse projection by the matching algorithm is my favorite, too. But I don't see your long quote any likely to be the...

There's even copy of the schedule on slide 7 of today's meeting minutes where they suggest they might be able to collect 5/fb this year.

http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1384466 This is definitely worth watching. I started it with several hypotheses what could they have made wrong and they disproved all of them. They were unbelievably thorough at their measurements and verification and I don't see a single mistake there. Yet I still thi...

It sure will be nice to have this confirmed but I am afraid if there was anything "anti-massy" on antiprotons, Tevatron wouldn't be able to function for all the years or they'd have to compensate these effects and therefore would notice already.

Cryo was ok for beam this morning.

Keeping these messages up to date is not their primary concern. It's just 'operator chat', important information goes through different channels.

If there is any damage to the cryo machinery, repair it or use redundances. Start it all up and wait till all parts that need to be cool are at their nominal temperature.

Just a word of warning: Your computer will need at least 512 MB of RAM and more than 9 GB of free disk space for hosting the experiments. If your computer does not meet these requirements, the project will not send you any jobs, sorry! But if you do have those free resources, you are ready to start....
