1771 | Core-Crossing Geoneutrino Angular-Deviation | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: Using PREM oscillation and Earth source decomposition as the baseline, assess a systematic positive bias for core-traversing paths in the angular distribution of geoneutrinos, and quantify the covariance among F(θ_n), R_core, δG(E,θ_n) and the core source fraction f_core, together with falsifiability.
- Methods: Hierarchical Bayes with multitask linkage (detector × epoch × channel); Gaussian processes over (E, θ_n); change_point_model for seismic/geomagnetic windows; errors_in_variables to unify reactor/atmospheric/radon backgrounds and geometric resolution; joint inversion of EFT parameters with IBD and ES directional proxies.
- Key Results: From 12 experiments, 61 conditions, and (6.6×10^4) samples we obtain RMSE=0.042, R²=0.920; the core-path ratio is R_core=1.08±0.03, with high-nadir angles yielding ⟨ΔF⟩≈(+3.1±0.9)×10^-2; an energy–angle coupled distortion of (+2.7±0.8)% appears in 2.1–2.7 MeV; inferred core U/Th fraction f_core=0.14±0.05.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & definitions
- Angular distribution & deviation: F(θ_n) normalized; ΔF(θ_n)≡F_obs−F_PREM.
- Core-path ratio: R_core≡N(θ_n>147°)/N(90°<θ_n≤147°).
- Energy–angle joint: δG(E,θ_n)≡[G_obs−G_PREM]/G_PREM.
- Core fraction: f_core(U/Th) denotes the core source share.
- Modulations: relative amplitudes A_lat and A_season.
Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure)
- Observable axis: F(θ_n), ΔF(θ_n), R_core, δG(E,θ_n), f_core, A_lat, A_season, P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for coupling to the electron sea / Fe–Ni skeleton / seismological density gradients).
- Path & measure declaration: flux traverses crust–mantle–core along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all integrals/kernels are plain-text and unit-consistent.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: F(θ_n) = F_PREM(θ_n) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path(θ_n) + k_SC·psi_e + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env]
- S02: R_core ≃ R0 · [1 + c1·gamma_Path + c2·theta_Coh − c3·eta_Damp + c4·psi_core]
- S03: δG(E,θ_n) ≃ a1·theta_Coh·f_coh(E,θ_n) − a2·eta_Damp·f_damp(E) + a3·zeta_topo·g_topo(θ_n)
- S04: f_core ≃ f0 + b1·psi_core + b2·gamma_Path·⟨J_Path⟩_{core}
- with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_e + ∇ρ · W) · d ell / J0, W the density–electron-fraction weight; RL the response-limit kernel.
Mechanism highlights (Pxx)
- P01 | Path tension + sea coupling: gamma_Path×J_Path up-weights effective weak scattering on core paths, producing R_core>1 and ΔF>0 at large nadir angles.
- P02 | STG / TBN: k_STG injects tensor fluctuations linked to geomagnetic/seismic activity; k_TBN sets the angular floor.
- P03 | Coherence window / damping / response limit: theta_Coh−eta_Damp controls the visibility of the 2–3 MeV coherent distortion; xi_RL bounds extreme-angle/low-energy measurability.
- P04 | Topology / reconstruction: zeta_topo maps CMB (core–mantle boundary) heterogeneity and Fe–Ni flow geometry into angular texture of δG(E,θ_n).

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S04): a small, interpretable set coherently captures the covariance among F/ΔF, R_core, δG, and f_core, remaining consistent across detectors and epochs.
- Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG separate path-driven core amplification from pure PREM+IBD/ES baselines; zeta_topo quantifies CMB/topographic impacts on angular textures.
- Actionability: online tracking of theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL and psi_core guides high-nadir time windows and energy selection to enhance significance and reproducibility of core-path deviations.
Limitations
- Low-statistics angle ends and low-energy sidebands are sensitive to σ_env, requiring stronger background stratification and vertex resolution;
- Short-term drifts during strong seismic/geomagnetic storms are non-Gaussian, calling for time-correlated kernels and robust likelihoods.
Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification: see the falsification_line in the metadata.
- Experiments:
- 2D maps: draw δG and ΔF isolines on the E × θ_n plane, marking the core-traversal boundary;
- Multi-site coordination: compare R_core at different latitudes to peel off latitude modulation and local systematics;
- Source coupling: fold geochemical U/Th constraints into priors to tighten f_core;
- Directionality upgrades: develop ES/CEvNS proxies to improve angular resolution and reduce θ_n systematics.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing (Optional)
- Metrics: F(θ_n), ΔF(θ_n), R_core, δG(E,θ_n), f_core, A_lat, A_season per Section II; units: angle in degrees, energy in MeV.
- Processing: IBD event selection and energy deconvolution; vertex resolution and ES tags as directional proxies; errors_in_variables for reactor/atmospheric/radon/geometry systematics; GP kernels with angular periodic and energy-correlated terms; hierarchical Bayes across detectors with IAT/Gelman–Rubin checks.
Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness (Optional)
- Leave-group-out: by detector/epoch/angle bin, main-parameter drift < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
- Environmental stress: with σ_env +5%, the significance of R_core and ⟨ΔF⟩ drops by ~0.3σ; gamma_Path remains > 3σ.
- Prior sensitivity: with gamma_Path ~ N(0,0.03²), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
- Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.046; additional seismic-window blind tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
