Review of the Empirical Evidence for Superluminal Particles and the 3 + 3 Model of the Neutrino Masses

Figure 2

A plot of versus observation time for the events seen in the four neutrino detectors operating at the time of SN 1987A: open diamonds (5 Baksan events), open squares (12 Kamiokande-II events), and open triangles (8 IMB events). The single dot near t = - 5h shown without error bars represents the 5 Mont Blanc events. The dashed positive sloped lines correspond to masses eV and eV according to (2). The model called for a third mass that was a tachyon, but it initially explicitly rejected the idea that the 5 Mont Blanc events defined one, as discussed in the text.
