Abstract

The purpose of this paper is both to provide mathematical reinforcements to the paper [Mecozzi and Bellini, Superluminal group velocity of neutrinos, arXiv: 1110.1253 [hep-ph]] by taking decoherence into consideration and to present some important related problems.

We claim that neutrinos have superluminality as a latent possibility.
