Search for <i>hep</i> solar neutrinos and the diffuse supernova neutrino background using all three phases of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A search has been performed for neutrinos from two sources, the hep reaction in the solar $pp$ fusion chain and the ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}$ component of the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB), using the full dataset of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory with a total exposure of $2.47\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{kton}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{years}$ after fiducialization. The hep search is performed using both a single-bin counting analysis and a likelihood fit. We find a best-fit flux that is compatible with solar model predictions while remaining consistent with zero flux, and set a one-sided upper limit of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}_{hep}<30\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{3}\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}\text{ }{\mathrm{s}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ [90% credible interval (CI)]. No events are observed in the DSNB search region, and we set an improved upper bound on the ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}$ component of the DSNB flux of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}_{{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}}^{\mathrm{DSNB}}<19\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}\text{ }{\mathrm{s}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ (90% CI) in the energy range $22.9<{E}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}<36.9\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
