Description
The arrival times of muons in a bundle produced by one cosmic ray interaction in the atmosphere should return a value compatible with the time resolution, while if neutrinos have larger velocity than muons some of the muons may arrive slightly earlier in a bundle of particles than others. There are strong theoretical arguments against this possibility, however this measurement could verify the OPERA hints on the possibility that neutrinos have a velocity larger than the speed of light.
