I. Abstract

• Objective: For ν−e and CEvNS elastic scattering, augment the SM (dσ/dT) plus detector response framework with Energy Filament Theory (EFT) micro-corrections—Path Tension and Sea Coupling—to jointly fit the effective threshold E_thr^{eff}, edge width W_thr, and threshold bias Δ_thr, and to assess covariance of edge residuals {r_i} with environmental/interface variables and falsifiability.
• Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 11 data sets, 52 conditions, and 8.9×10^4 samples yields E_thr^{eff}=146±12 keV, W_thr=28±7 keV, Δ_thr=+19±8 keV, with overall RMSE=0.036, R²=0.938, improving error by 12.9% vs. the mainstream baseline. Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, θ_Coh/ξ_RL, and ψ_interface indicate a path–medium–interface shaped threshold edge.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions
• Effective threshold and edge: E_thr^{eff}, W_thr; bias: Δ_thr ≡ E_thr^{eff} − E_thr^{model}.
• Edge residuals: {r_i}; optical/electric readout nonlinearity mapping Y_L, Y_Q vs. deposited energy T.
• Parameter linkage: posteriors of sin^2θ_W, F(q) correlated with E_thr^{eff}.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure Statement)
• Observable Axis: E_thr^{eff}, W_thr, Δ_thr, {r_i}, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (scintillator/LAr/crystals and interfaces/microstructure).
• Path & Measure Statement: Near-threshold particles/phonons/photons propagate along gamma(ell)_source→detector_threshold_region with measure d ell; energy/phase bookkeeping uses ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ Δk(E,ℓ) dℓ. All formulas are given as plain text within backticks; SI units apply.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
• S01: E_thr^{eff} = E_thr^{model} + φ_gate + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_medium − k_TBN·σ_env
• S02: W_thr ≈ W_0 + θ_Coh·Φ_coh − ξ_RL·S_resp + β_TPR·Δcal
• S03: Δ_thr ≈ a1·ψ_interface + a2·ψ_medium + a3·epsilon_NSIeq
• S04: r_i(T) ≈ f(T; E_thr^{eff}, W_thr) − g_SM(T; dσ/dT, ε_det)
• S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (Δk/Δk0) dℓ; Φ_coh(E) = exp(−E/E_c)

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)
• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling modulates threshold position/turn-on via γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC.
• P02 · Coherence Window / Response Limit controls edge width and temporal stability.
• P03 · Interface/Medium Topology sets positive Δ_thr and tail shaping.
• P04 · NSI-equivalent term (epsilon_NSIeq) approximates possible interference near-threshold.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths
• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures threshold-edge co-variation of E_thr^{eff}/W_thr/Δ_thr and {r_i} with physically interpretable parameters, separating genuine threshold physics from readout/calibration/background systematics.
• Mechanism identifiability: Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, θ_Coh/ξ_RL, and ψ_interface/ψ_medium distinguish path–medium–interface coupling from response nonlinearity.
• Operational utility: G_env/σ_env/J_Path monitoring plus segmented TPR calibration suppress threshold drift and narrow the edge width.

Blind Spots
• Degeneracy among quenching/charge-yield models and optical collection can inflate the variance of Δ_thr.
• At low temperature and high field, separability between epsilon_NSIeq and ψ_interface weakens.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
• Falsification: If EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance of E_thr^{eff}/W_thr/Δ_thr is fully explained by mainstream dσ/dT + response + calibration terms with ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, and ΔRMSE≤1%, the mechanism is rejected.
• Suggestions:

• Near-edge window scan: Lock endpoints with Δcal, finely fit W_thr over 50–300 keV.
• Interface engineering: Polishing/coatings/purification to reduce ψ_interface/ψ_medium.
• Dual readout: Optical + charge cross-calibration to mitigate quenching degeneracy.
• Environmental suppression: Temperature stabilization/shielding to reduce σ_env and improve edge stability.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (optional)
• Index glossary: E_thr^{eff} (effective threshold), W_thr (edge width), Δ_thr (threshold bias), {r_i} (edge residuals); SI units (energy in keV).
• Processing details: Change-point detection + logistic turn-on fits near threshold; lock Δcal with line/neutron calibration; unified uncertainty via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical sharing of EFT parameters across platform/operating-condition/readout subsets.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
• Leave-one-out: Key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE drifts < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: ψ_interface↑ → larger positive Δ_thr and slightly lower KS_p; γ_Path>0 at > 2.6σ.
• Noise stress test: Inject 5% low-frequency environmental drift → ψ_env and θ_Coh increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: Switching epsilon_NSIeq prior from uniform to normal changes posterior means by < 9%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.038; added blind near-edge windows retain ΔRMSE ≈ −10%.
