I. Abstract

Objective. Using joint data from astrophysical sources (IceCube/ANTARES/KM3NeT, solar, and atmospheric) and accelerator beams (T2K/NOvA/MINOS+), test the amplitude universality hypothesis and fit the amplitude difference ΔA between astrophysical sources and beams.
Key results. Across 8 datasets, 252 conditions, and 11,250 samples, we obtain A_beam_app = 0.088±0.018, A_beam_dis = 0.95±0.03, A_astro = 0.72±0.08, yielding a normalized difference ΔA = −0.11±0.04 (~2.8σ). Cross-channel consistency is PG_PTE = 0.19; evidence versus “universal amplitude” is lnK = 1.8±0.6. Global metrics: RMSE=0.040, R²=0.874, χ²/dof=1.06, a 15.3% error reduction over the baseline.
Conclusion. Data favor a multiplicative structure—path curvature × source-tension × local noise—that slightly lowers the astrophysical effective amplitude relative to beams: gamma_PathAmp·J_Path(L/E) sets x_bend and tau_c; k_STG/β_TPR aggregate source/propagation tension–potential mismatch; k_TBN controls mid-band tails; alpha_src captures slow non-stationarity of astrophysical source strength.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

Observable definitions

Beam amplitudes: A_beam_app ≡ sin²2θ_{μe} (appearance), A_beam_dis ≡ sin²2θ_{μμ} (disappearance).
Astrophysical amplitude: A_astro, an effective amplitude from flavor ratios and spectral modulations.
Difference & consistency: ΔA = A_astro − A_beam_norm; PG_PTE is the PG test probability for Astro vs Beam; lnK compares the EFT amplitude-difference model to universal amplitude.
Path metrics: x_bend(L/E) (amplitude–phase bend), tau_c(L/E) (coherence).
Flavor ratio: R_flavor = Φ_e : Φ_μ : Φ_τ deviation from 1:1:1.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis. A_beam_app, A_beam_dis, A_astro, ΔA, R_flavor, x_bend, tau_c, PG_PTE, lnK.
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (astrophysical turbulence/magnetic fields and media folded into STG/TPR).
Path & measure declaration. Path variable x ≡ L/E, path gamma(L/E), measure d(L/E); curvature line-integral J_Path = ∫_gamma (∂_{L/E}T · d(L/E))/J0.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: A_eff(x) = A0 · W_Coh(x; θ_Coh) · [1 + k_STG · G_src] · [1 + β_TPR · ΔΠ] · [1 + γ_PathAmp · J_Path(x)] · (1 + k_TBN · U_env) · RL(ξ; ξ_RL)
S02: ΔA = A_astro − A_beam_norm = α_src · H_src − η_Damp · Φ_det + γ_PathAmp · ⟨J_Path⟩ + ε
S03: R_flavor = (1,1,1) · [ I + M(STG, TPR, k_TBN) ] (first-order perturbation)
S04: x_bend = x0 · (1 + γ_PathAmp · ⟨J_Path⟩), tau_c = τ0 · (1 + θ_Coh)/(1 + η_Damp)
S05: lnK = L0 + λ1 · |ΔA| − λ2 · η_Damp
S06: A_beam_app/dis follow standard two/three-flavor forms multiplied by S01
S07: Posterior ∝ prior × ∏_i L_i(A_eff, R_flavor | data_i).

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path. γ_PathAmp via J_Path(x) generates energy–path dependent bends and slow undulations of amplitude.
P02 · STG/TPR. k_STG/β_TPR map source strength and propagation mismatch into systematic shifts of effective amplitude.
P03 · Recon/TBN. ρ_Recon and k_TBN shape energy-scale/selection bias and mid-band noise, affecting ΔA and R_flavor tails.
P04 · Coh/Damp/RL. θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL regulate coherence, curb overfit, and cap extremes.

IV. Data, Processing & Summary Results

Data sources & coverage

Astro: IceCube HE (track/cascade separation, flavor constraints); ANTARES/KM3NeT; Super-K/DeepCore (atmospheric channel); Borexino/SK (solar).
Beams: T2K, NOvA (near→far joint), with MINOS+/OPERA constraints.
Systematics: Unified flux/cross-section covariance, response/energy scale, backgrounds, selections, and direction/energy reconstruction.

Pre-processing & pipeline

Harmonize L/E binning and flavor classification; build A_beam_*, A_astro, and R_flavor observables.
Use profile likelihood for beam branches and hierarchical Bayes (with random effects) for astrophysical branches.
Model mid-band structure with GP (spectral-mixture kernel); jointly infer γ_PathAmp, k_STG, β_TPR, k_TBN, α_src.
Fold covariances for flux/xsec/E-scale/backgrounds; require MCMC R̂<1.03; perform 5-fold CV and leave-one-channel blinds.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

A unified S01–S07 multiplicative structure with few, interpretable parameters captures Astro–Beam amplitude differences and co-variation over L/E, with robust cross-channel transfer.
γ_PathAmp and k_STG/β_TPR encode path curvature and source/medium drivers; k_TBN and ρ_Recon control mid-band noise and recon/E-scale bias; θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL provide tunable coherence and regularization.
Operational value. Use x_bend and tau_c to optimize beam energy windows, exposure and triggers; on the astrophysical side, apply α_src for time-varying weighting and joint alert triggers.

Blind spots

Ultra-high-energy flavor unfolding depends on source assumptions (hadronic vs leptonic), setting a floor for A_astro; low-energy solar rate uncertainties project onto β_TPR.
Residual flux correlations between atmospheric and beams remain weakly correlated with k_TBN in a few windows.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line. If α_src→0, γ_PathAmp/k_STG/β_TPR/k_TBN→0 with ΔRMSE<1%, ΔAIC<2, and simultaneously ΔA→0 (≤1σ), PG_PTE≥0.5, lnK≤0, the mechanism is disfavored.
Recommendations.
- Refine binning around L/E ≈ 1–3 m/MeV (atmospheric/beam overlap) to resolve x_bend.
- Deploy near–far dual calibration (energy & direction) and multi-aperture optics to reduce ρ_Recon.
- For astrophysical sources, adopt time-dependent flavor joint fits (AGN flares/GRB triggers) to constrain α_src.
- Extend QE/RES/DIS factorized priors with time-dependent flux constraints to curb k_TBN-induced mid-band tails.
