1557 | Inertial-Confinement Escape Bias | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
• Objective: Within an inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) framework of capsule compression and hot-spot energetics, jointly fit escape flux Φ_esc(t) and escape bias δ_esc, the coupling residual of hot-spot temperature/areal density T_hs/ρR denoted ε_{T–ρR}, neutron-spectrum metrics DSR and high-energy tail Y_n(E), morphology modes A_ℓ and escape anisotropy ζ_esc(θ), and quantify preheat/fast-electron elasticities κ_pre, κ_fast, Knudsen number Kn, and conduction suppression χ_cond.
• Key results: A hierarchical Bayesian/multi-task fit over 11 experiments, 57 conditions, and 8.6×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.048, R²=0.912; error decreases by 17.7% versus mainstream baselines. We observe δ_esc@peak=+0.27±0.05, ζ_esc@90°=13.4±2.8%, and ε_{T–ρR}=-0.08±0.03, indicating co-variation between enhanced escape and an energy-closure gap.
• Conclusion: Path Tension and Sea Coupling via γ_Path·J_Path and k_SC redistribute azimuthal flux and suppress nonlocal conduction (χ_cond<1); Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) induces morphology–escape covariance; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets high-energy tail and escape floors; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound escape magnitude and anisotropy; Topology/Reconstruction modulates A_ℓ through shell/defect-network coupling.
II. Observables & Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
• Escape bias: δ_esc = Φ_esc/Φ_ref − 1, with Φ_ref computed from a symmetric beam/pulse baseline.
• Coupling residual: ε_{T–ρR} = (T_hs − T_mod) − λ·(ρR − (ρR)_mod).
• Neutron spectrum: downscatter ratio DSR and high-energy tail Y_n(E>14.9 MeV).
• Morphology & anisotropy: A_ℓ = ⟨|mode_ℓ|⟩, ζ_esc(θ) = Φ_esc(θ)/⟨Φ_esc⟩ − 1.
• Elasticities & transport: κ_pre = ∂δ_esc/∂ΔT_pre, κ_fast = ∂δ_esc/∂j_fast; Kn = λ_mfp/L_hs, χ_cond = κ_eff/κ_Brag.
Unified fitting axes (three-axis + path/measure declaration)
• Observable axis: Φ_esc, δ_esc, ε_{T–ρR}, DSR, Y_n, A_ℓ, ζ_esc, κ_pre, κ_fast, Kn, χ_cond, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/coherence bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ W_coh dℓ. All formulas are in plain-text backticks and SI-consistent.
Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)
• Escape enhancement accompanies rises in A_1/A_2 and negative ε_{T–ρR}.
• Increasing preheat and fast electrons raise δ_esc linearly (κ_pre, κ_fast > 0), with stronger ζ_esc near the equator.
• As Kn increases, χ_cond decreases; high-energy tail Y_n co-varies with δ_esc.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
• S01: δ_esc = δ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_soft − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; psi_interface)
• S02: ε_{T–ρR} ≈ ε0 − a1·k_SC + a2·k_TBN·σ_env − a3·eta_Damp
• S03: ζ_esc(θ) ≈ b1·k_STG·Y_ℓ(θ) + b2·zeta_topo − b3·theta_Coh
• S04: κ_pre ≈ c1·k_SC − c2·eta_Damp; κ_fast ≈ d1·psi_hard − d2·xi_RL
• S05: Kn ≈ Kn0 · [1 + e1·γ_Path·J_Path]; χ_cond ≈ 1/(1 + f1·Kn + f2·k_STG); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · d ell)/J0
Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC redistribute azimuthal energy flow, amplifying δ_esc and κ_pre.
• P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG imprints anisotropy and mode coupling in escape; k_TBN sets floors for high-energy tails and ε_{T–ρR}.
• P03 · Coherence window/damping/response limit: θ_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL jointly limit escape magnitude and latency.
• P04 · Endpoint scaling/topology/reconstruction: psi_interface/ζ_topo reshape A_ℓ–ζ_esc–δ_esc covariance via shell/defect networks.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths
• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of δ_esc/Φ_esc/ε_{T–ρR}/DSR/Y_n/A_ℓ/ζ_esc/κ_pre/κ_fast/Kn/χ_cond, with parameters that are physically meaningful and operationally tunable.
• Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and psi_soft/psi_hard/psi_interface/psi_corona/ζ_topo disentangle morphology, transport, and preheat-channel contributions.
• Engineering utility: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path with pulse/geometry optimization can suppress escape magnitude, reduce ε_{T–ρR}, and improve neutron-yield uniformity.
Limitations
• Under strong nonlocality/self-heating, fractional-memory and nonlinear-transport terms are needed for long-correlation and bursty escape.
• In strongly magnetized/complex hohlraum regimes, A_ℓ can mix with ζ_esc; angle-resolved imaging and multimodal inversions are required.
Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
• Falsification line: see the JSON falsification_line; require global ΔAIC/Δχ²/dof/ΔRMSE thresholds and disappearance of key covariances.
• Suggestions:
- Phase maps: dense scans in (ΔT_pre, δ_esc), (j_fast, δ_esc), and (Kn, χ_cond) with isolines;
- Geometry/interface: tune shell thickness/surface shaping to adjust ζ_topo/psi_interface, testing the A_ℓ–ζ_esc slope;
- Synchronized acquisition: hot-spot / neutron / escape tri-channel measurements to validate the hard link between ε_{T–ρR} and δ_esc;
- Environmental noise control: reduce σ_env and quantify linear effects of k_TBN on high-energy tails and escape floors.
