Neutrinos seem not to be superluminal after all

flasks

The speed of neutrinos has been measured to be consistent with neutrinos travelling at the speed of light by the ICARUS detector at the CNGS beam.

This is in stark contrast to the results of OPERA [1].

The expected time of flight difference between the speed of light from CERN to ICARUS and the actual position of the vertex of the LAr-TPC events has been neatly analysed. The result is compatible with the simultaneous arrival of all the 7 events with the speed of light and not compatible with respect to the result reported by OPERA [1].
