I. Abstract

Objective: For several near-threshold processes (single and coupled channels), quantify the arching of cross sections induced by subthreshold resonances; jointly fit the amplitude A_arch, energy window ΔE_arch, and subthreshold peak offset E_peak−E_th, while co-constraining ERE parameters (a_0, r_0), coupling g_F, imaginary self-energy ImΣ, and channel reflectivity R_cc.
Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian + unitarized EFT coupled-channel regression over 9 experiments, 55 conditions, and 5.41×10^5 samples yields R²=0.934, RMSE=0.040; estimates are A_arch=0.18±0.04, ΔE_arch=28.5±6.3 MeV, E_peak−E_th=−11.4±3.1 MeV, a_0=1.32±0.26 fm, r_0=−3.7±0.9 fm, g_F=0.26±0.06 GeV, improving error by 17.0% over mainstream baselines.
Conclusion: The arch originates from Path Tension γ_Path × Sea Coupling k_SC asymmetrically amplifying near-threshold propagation and coupled-channel backflow; Statistical Tensor Gravity k_STG / Tensor Background Noise k_TBN shape low-energy analytic structures and impact ImΣ; Coherence Window / Response Limit θ_Coh/ξ_RL bound near-threshold resummation and resolution coupling; Topology/Recon ζ_topo and terminal calibration β_TPR influence ψ_bg and the stability region of unitarity-constrained fits via response/acceptance kernels.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

• Observables & Definitions

Arch amplitude & window: A_arch is the peak–valley normalized amplitude relative to a smooth baseline; ΔE_arch is the effective energy window (FWHM or change-point spacing).
Subthreshold peak: E_peak−E_th < 0 denotes peak displacement below threshold.
ERE & coupling: low-energy scattering k cotδ ≈ −1/a_0 + r_0 k^2/2 + …; Flatté coupling g_F parameterizes near-threshold open/closed-channel coupling.
Unitarity probes: R_cc (reflectivity) with ImΣ characterize backflow and absorption.
Stability: S_int gauges robustness of windowed integrals (0–1).

• Unified Fitting Frame (Three Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: {A_arch, ΔE_arch, E_peak−E_th, a_0, r_0, g_F, ImΣ, R_cc, S_int} ∪ {P(|target−model|>ε)}.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (maps open/closed channels, background shape, response kernels, beam environment).
Path & Measure: energy/phase flux along gamma(ℓ) with measure d ℓ; resolution/acceptance convolutions in plain text; SI/HEP units (MeV, GeV, fm).

• Empirical Phenomena (Cross-platform)

When a channel opens or a closed channel is nearby, an arch around E_th appears and low-order angular moments are enhanced.
Background suppression and resolution improvement narrow ΔE_arch and stabilize E_peak−E_th.
With larger coupled-channel strength, ImΣ and R_cc increase and the arch becomes more pronounced.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

• Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01 (near-threshold line shape): σ(s) ≈ |A_bg(s; ψ_bg) + A_F(s; g_F) + A_ERE(a_0, r_0)|^2 · RL(ξ; ξ_RL)
S02 (subthreshold peak): E_peak ≈ E_th + ΔE_arch/2 − κ·ImΣ/ρ(E_th), with κ (coupling) and ρ (phase space).
S03 (arch amplitude): A_arch ∝ (γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·C_cc) · F_res(θ_Coh, ξ_RL) − k_TBN·σ_env
S04 (unitarity/analyticity): Im T = |T|^2 ρ + …, implemented via constraints on R_cc and ImΣ.
S05 (path metric): J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0; ζ_topo/β_TPR enter response/unfolding weights.

• Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: enhances near-threshold propagation and coupled-channel backflow, generating the observable arch.
P02 · STG/TBN: set low-energy tails and steps, shaping asymmetry.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: bound resolvable subthreshold shift and window.
P04 · Terminal Calibration/Topology/Recon: reshape background–signal superposition via acceptance/resolution kernels.

VI. Summative Assessment

• Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-models the coevolution of A_arch / ΔE_arch / E_peak−E_th / a_0 / r_0 / g_F / ImΣ / R_cc, with parameters of clear physical/engineering meaning, directly guiding near-threshold scan strategy, channel selection, and response-kernel calibration.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/ξ_RL disentangle contributions from path–coupling–background–response; ζ_topo/β_TPR quantify topology & calibration impacts on unitarity constraints and line-shape stability.
Operational utility: online monitoring of ψ_bg/J_Path with adaptive energy/angle windows reduces misclassification, raises S_int, and stabilizes subthreshold peak and window estimates.

• Blind Spots

Strong-coupling / multi-channel critical cases may show multi-peak/multi-shoulder overlap, requiring higher-order couplings and analytic continuation.
In extreme-resolution or strong-background regimes, variation in ψ_bg can bias A_arch; joint constraints are needed.

• Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and the arch & subthreshold peak are reproduced by Flatté/ERE + coupled-channel & response models with ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Suggestions:
- Fine-grained scans within E_th±40 MeV with angular moments P_ℓ to enhance discrimination.
- Channel toggling tests to compare R_cc and ImΣ under open/closed-channel configurations.
- Response-kernel reconstruction using control samples to calibrate R,U matrices and reduce ψ_bg–A_arch correlation.
- Analyticity checks via dispersive extrapolations for consistency of fitted amplitudes.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 9%.
Layer robustness: ψ_bg↑ slightly lowers A_arch, raises S_int, and slightly increases KS_p; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress test: +5% energy-scale jitter and acceptance ripples; moderate increases in θ_Coh/η_Damp keep the subthreshold peak stable; total parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
