Abstract

We searched for bound neutron decay via <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <a:mi>n</a:mi> <a:mo stretchy="false">→</a:mo> <a:mover accent="true"> <a:mi>ν</a:mi> <a:mo stretchy="false">¯</a:mo> </a:mover> <a:mo>+</a:mo> <a:msup> <a:mi>K</a:mi> <a:mn>0</a:mn> </a:msup> </a:math> predicted by the grand unified theories in <f:math xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <f:mrow> <f:mn>0.401</f:mn> <f:mtext> </f:mtext> <f:mtext> </f:mtext> <f:mi>Mton</f:mi> <f:mo>·</f:mo> <f:mi>years</f:mi> </f:mrow> </f:math> exposure of all pure water phases in the Super-Kamiokande detector. About 4.4 times more data than in the previous search have been analyzed by a new method including a spectrum fit to kaon invariant mass distributions. No significant data excess has been observed in the signal regions. As a result of this analysis, we set a lower limit of <h:math xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <h:mn>7.8</h:mn> <h:mo>×</h:mo> <h:msup> <h:mn>10</h:mn> <h:mn>32</h:mn> </h:msup> <h:mtext> </h:mtext> <h:mtext> </h:mtext> <h:mi>years</h:mi> </h:math> on the neutron lifetime at a 90% confidence level.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
