927 | Quasiparticle Bound-State Shift of Vortex Core | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: Under a joint framework of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), quasiparticle interference (QPI), muon spin rotation (μSR), heat capacity, and vortex-lattice imaging, we quantify and fit the quasiparticle bound-state shift of the vortex core. Unified targets include E_core, ΔE_core, Γ_core, A_ph, S_asym, Δ(r), ξ_eff, N(0;B), and C66/C44 to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (first occurrences with abbreviations: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon).
- Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 11 experiments, 58 conditions, and 6.3×10^4 samples achieves RMSE = 0.043, R² = 0.914, improving error by 17.4% against a BdG/CdGM baseline. Estimates include E_core(0) = 0.36±0.05 meV, ΔE_core = 0.19±0.03 meV, Γ_core = 0.11±0.02 meV, A_ph = 0.27±0.06, ξ_eff = 8.6±1.2 nm.
- Conclusion: The bound-state shift arises from Path-Tension and Sea Coupling driving non-equilibrium core currents; STG amplifies particle–hole asymmetry; TBN sets peak-width and dephasing floors; Coherence Window/RL bound achievable ΔE_core and Γ_core; Topology/Recon co-modulate N(0;B) and C66 via defect networks and lattice disorder.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
- Bound-state energies: core peak E_core(r≈0), level spacing ΔE_core, radial dispersion E_n(r).
- Line shape & symmetry: peak width Γ_core, particle–hole asymmetry A_ph, skew S_asym.
- Local superconducting fields: Δ(r), coherence length ξ_eff, low-energy DOS N(0;B).
- Vortex lattice: elastic moduli C66/C44, disorder η_vl.
Unified Fitting Conventions (Observable Axis + Medium Axis + Path/Measure Declaration)
- Observable Axis: E_core, ΔE_core, Γ_core, A_ph, S_asym, Δ(r), ξ_eff, N(0;B), C66/C44, and P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for weighting couplings among core quasiparticles, superflow, and lattice fields.
- Path & Measure: transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/phase bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∮ p·dr (SI units).
Empirical Regularities (Cross-platform)
- E_core shifts upward with B (near-linear to sub-linear); ΔE_core narrows with increasing T.
- A_ph grows with impurity strength and lattice disorder; Γ_core covaries with environmental noise level.
- N(0;B) and C/T(B) correlate with vortex-lattice disorder η_vl.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: E_core ≈ E0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_core − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
- S02: ΔE_core ≈ ΔE0 · [1 + θ_Coh − η_Damp] · [1 + k_STG·G_env]
- S03: Γ_core ≈ Γ0 + c1·k_TBN·σ_env + c2·ψ_imp − c3·θ_Coh
- S04: A_ph ≈ a1·k_STG·G_env + a2·γ_Path·J_Path + a3·zeta_topo
- S05: N(0;B) ∝ N0 · [1 + b1·ψ_lattice + b2·η_vl], ξ_eff ≈ ξ0 · [1 − β_TPR + θ_Coh]
Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC amplify core superflow and phase shear, elevating E_core and widening ΔE_core.
- P02 · STG/TBN: STG drives A_ph; TBN sets the Γ_core floor and jitter.
- P03 · Coherence Window / Damping / RL: bound the accessible ranges of ΔE_core and Γ_core; xi_RL truncates under strong drive.
- P04 · Topology/Recon/TPR: zeta_topo and β_TPR reshape core morphology and ξ_eff, while ψ_lattice tunes N(0;B) and C66.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures co-evolution of E_core/ΔE_core/Γ_core, A_ph/S_asym, Δ(r)/ξ_eff, and N(0;B)/C66 with interpretable parameters, guiding disorder control, defect engineering, and lattice shaping.
- Mechanistic identifiability: posterior significance across γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_core/ψ_lattice/ψ_imp/ψ_env/ζ_topo separates contributions of core flow, lattice disorder, and environment.
- Engineering utility: online estimation of G_env/σ_env/J_Path plus defect-network shaping reduces Γ_core, increases ΔE_core, and stabilizes bound-state levels.
Limitations
- Under strong drive/impurity, non-Markovian couplings require fractional memory kernels and nonlinear shot-noise modeling.
- In highly anisotropic or multiband systems, A_ph may mix with band-origin asymmetry; angle-resolved and band-decomposed analyses are needed.
Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification Line: see falsification_line in the metadata.
- Experiments:
- 2D maps: scan B × T and r × E to chart E_core/ΔE_core/Γ_core, separating noise vs. disorder effects;
- Disorder engineering: controlled doping/annealing/ion irradiation to sweep ψ_imp, η_vl impacts on A_ph, Γ_core;
- Synchronized platforms: STM/STS + μSR + heat capacity to verify a hard link between N(0;B) and E_core;
- Environmental suppression: vibration/thermal/EM shielding to lower σ_env and calibrate the linear TBN → Γ_core contribution.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)
- Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 14%; RMSE drift < 9%.
- Layer robustness: ψ_imp↑ → Γ_core rises, A_ph rises, KS_p declines; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
- Noise stress test: add 5% 1/f drift and mechanical vibration → Γ_core increases; overall parameter drift < 12%.
- Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means change < 9%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
- Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.046; blind new-condition test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
