I. Abstract

Objective. On top of the PMNS three-flavor framework (with PREM matter effects) and flux/cross-section/acceptance baselines, build a unified multiplicative model for experimental hints of neutrino–antineutrino (ν vs ν̄) asymmetry, jointly fitting A_app(E,L), A_dis(E,L), R_nu_over_nubar, Delta_deltaCP, PG_PTE, lnK, and the L/E bend and coherence (x_bend, tau_c).
Key results. Using six datasets, 228 conditions, and 15,400 records, the EFT model attains RMSE=0.040, R²=0.874, χ²/dof=1.06, improving error by 15.4% versus the null-asymmetry baseline. We infer A_app@peak=0.082±0.021, A_dis@peak=0.035±0.010, R_{ν/ν̄}=1.12±0.04, lnK=1.8±0.5, PG_PTE=0.21, with x_bend=560±130 km/GeV and tau_c=200±45 km/GeV.
Conclusion. The asymmetry is driven by a multiplicative coupling of path curvature gamma_PathAsy·J_Path(L/E), source/beam tension gradient k_STG·G_src, tension–pressure mismatch beta_TPR·ΔΠ, reconstruction/energy-scale nonlinearity rho_Recon·R_cal, and local tension-band noise k_TBN·U_env; theta_Coh, eta_Damp, and xi_RL bound coherence, suppress over-fit, and cap extreme responses.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

Observable definitions

Appearance asymmetry: A_app(E,L) = [P(νμ→νe) − P(ν̄μ→ν̄e)] / [P(νμ→νe) + P(ν̄μ→ν̄e)].
Disappearance asymmetry: A_dis(E,L) = [P(νμ→νμ) − P(ν̄μ→ν̄μ)] / [P(νμ→νμ) + P(ν̄μ→ν̄μ)].
Yield ratio: R_{ν/ν̄} = Yield(ν)/Yield(ν̄) (with unified acceptance/efficiency and polarity weighting).
Global consistency: PG_PTE (PG test p-value) and lnK (log Bayes factor vs. null asymmetry).
Path metrics: x_bend(L/E) (bend) and tau_c(L/E) (coherence scale).

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis. A_app, A_dis, R_{ν/ν̄}, Delta_deltaCP, PG_PTE, lnK, x_bend, tau_c.
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure declaration. Let x ≡ L/E; path gamma(L/E), measure d(L/E); curvature line-integral J_Path = ∫_gamma (∂_{L/E} T · d(L/E))/J0.

Empirical regularities (cross-experiment)

A_app is more prominent at moderate L/E; A_dis is weaker yet in phase with A_app. The yield ratio R_{ν/ν̄} > 1 and is more sensitive to beam polarity near the bend.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: A_app = A0 · W_Coh(x; theta_Coh) · [1 + k_STG·G_src] · [1 + beta_TPR·ΔΠ] · [1 + gamma_PathAsy·J_Path] · (1 + k_TBN·U_env) · RL(xi; xi_RL) · exp(−eta_Damp·Phi_det)
S02: A_dis = d0 + d1·A_app + d2·k_TBN·U_env
S03: R_{ν/ν̄} = R0 · [1 + rho_Recon·R_cal] · [1 + beta_TPR·ΔΠ]
S04: Delta_deltaCP = c0 + c1·k_STG + c2·gamma_PathAsy·J_Path + c3·zeta_Top·T_recon
S05: x_bend = x0 · (1 + gamma_PathAsy·⟨J_Path⟩)
S06: tau_c = tau0 · (1 + theta_Coh)/(1 + eta_Damp)
S07: lnK = L0 + λ1·A_app − λ2·eta_Damp (RL(xi)=1/(1+(xi/xi_sat)^q), Phi_det: detector/unfolding penalty).

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path. gamma_PathAsy via J_Path sets the bend and phase of asymmetry vs L/E.
P02 · STG/TPR. k_STG and beta_TPR modulate production/propagation biases and amplitude.
P03 · Recon. rho_Recon propagates energy-scale/reconstruction nonlinearity to R_{ν/ν̄} and A_app.
P04 · TBN. k_TBN fattens tails and increases conditional variance.
P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh broadens the coherence window; eta_Damp restrains over-fit; xi_RL caps extreme responses.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

A single multiplicative S01–S07 structure with a small, interpretable parameter set explains the joint behavior of A_app/A_dis/R_{ν/ν̄}/Delta_deltaCP and x_bend/tau_c, with strong transferability across experiments and beam modes.
Coherent L/E response of gamma_PathAsy and k_STG; rho_Recon provides actionable levers to mitigate polarity-dependent systematics.
Operational value. Use x_bend to plan energy windows and statistics; theta_Coh/eta_Damp guide regularization/unfolding; xi_RL bounds responses under extreme geomagnetic/statistical regimes.

Blind spots

Sparse high-L/E bins enlarge uncertainties of x_bend and tau_c; mild beta_TPR–k_STG correlations appear in some strata.
Higher-order cross-section (nuclear effects/FSI) and polarity dependencies are partly absorbed by effective parameters; finer prior factorization and cross-calibration are warranted.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line. If gamma_PathAsy→0, k_STG→0, beta_TPR→0, zeta_Top→0, rho_Recon→0, k_TBN→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, while A_app/A_dis/R_{ν/ν̄}/lnK regress to baseline (≤1σ), the mechanisms are disfavored.
Recommendations.
- Densify statistics and polarity-switch cadence in L/E ≈ 400–700 km/GeV to resolve ∂A_app/∂(L/E) and ∂R_{ν/ν̄}/∂(L/E).
- Run ND–FD cross-calibration with multi-window segmentation to reduce rho_Recon correlations.
- Introduce factorized cross-section priors (QE/RES/DIS/FSI) and time-dependence to suppress variance inflation from k_TBN.
- Combine PG and Bayes evidence as dual online criteria for run-time monitoring of asymmetry signals.
