Abstract
Abstract Despite decades of intense research, the enigmatic pseudo-gap (PG) phase of superconducting cuprates remains unsolved. In the last 15 years, various symmetry breaking states were discovered in the PG phase, including an intra-unit cell (IUC) magnetism, which preserves the lattice translational (LT) symmetry but breaks the time-reversal and parity symmetries, and an additional incipient charge density wave breaking the LT symmetry. However, none of these states can (alone) account for the partial gapping of the Fermi surface. Here we report a hidden LT-breaking magnetism using polarized neutron diffraction. Our measurements reveal magnetic correlations, in two different underdoped YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6.6 single crystals that set in at the PG onset temperature with (i) a planar propagation wave vector ( π , 0) ≡ (0, π ), yielding a doubling or quadrupling of the magnetic unit cell and (ii) magnetic moments mainly pointing perpendicular to the CuO 2 layers. The LT-breaking magnetism is at short-range suggesting the formation of clusters of 5–6 unit cells. Together with the previously reported IUC magnetism, it yields a hidden magnetic texture of the CuO 2 unit cells hosting loop currents, forming large supercells that may be helpful for elucidating the PG puzzle.

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 it
