Abstract
The kinematics of the three body decay, with a modified energy-momentum relation of the particles due to a violation of Lorentz invariance, is presented in detail in the collinear approximation. The results are applied to the decay of superluminal neutrinos producing an electron-positron or a neutrino-antineutrino pair. Explicit expressions for the energy distributions, required for a study of the cascade of neutrinos produced in the propagation of superluminal neutrinos, are derived.
