Laboratory Test of the U-Cell Model: Withdrawal of the Predicted Photoelectric Asymmetry (v2)

View Full Paper
NPNorbert Prebeck

Key Points

  • The aim is to formally withdraw a proposed laboratory experiment regarding the U-Cell Model due to untenable predictions of photoelectric asymmetry.
  • Evaluated the predicted coefficient c_TZ(E) based on substrate rest-frame coupling.
  • Analyzed the implications of this coefficient on Lorentz violation limits.
  • Identified open problems related to the scale-selection issue in previous versions.
  • The predicted coefficient c_TZ(E) extrapolated to exceed Lorentz violation limits by 25 to 40 orders of magnitude.
  • The basis for the UV-laser experiment could not be sustained without a saturation mechanism.
  • Conditions for empirical falsification of the U-Cell Model's remaining components are specified and continue to apply.

Abstract

This revised version (v2) of UCM Paper 10 formally withdraws the laboratory experiment proposed in the original submission (v1, April 2026). The UV-laser photoelectric-asymmetry experiment based on substrate rest-frame coupling cannot be sustained: the proposed coefficient cTZ (E) = (vₑff/c) (E/E_Λ) ² extrapolates to order unity at E ≈ 1 keV and exceeds SME bounds on electron-sector Lorentz violation by 25 to 40 orders of magnitude at Penning-trap, LEP, Compton-edge, and cosmic-ray energies. The scale-selection problem (why the coupling would use E_Λ = 23. 9 eV rather than the Planck scale) was already declared as the highest-priority open problem in v1; in the absence of a derived saturation mechanism, the prediction cannot be defended. The UV-laser experiment is therefore withdrawn. The remainder of the U-Cell Model is not affected. In particular, the Wilson RG attractor delivering emergent Lorentz symmetry (Paper 26), the dark-matter sub-threshold mechanism with 23. 9 eV as a Lorentz scalar of the substrate dispersion (Part D), the cosmological predictions Ω_Λ = 0. 6834 and w = -1 with cumulative ΔBIC = +27. 1 across twelve probes (Paper 51 and the observational suite), the Bell-correlation mechanism (Paper 31), the electroweak derivation (Papers 49-51), and the well-defined lattice path integral (Paper 54) remain in force. The paper specifies the empirical falsification conditions that continue to apply: significant deviation from w = -1 in DESI/Euclid/LSST, from Ω_Λ = 0. 6834 in post-Planck CMB analyses, loss of fcold universality in extended SPARC-like samples, deviation from g† = fcold⁴·cH₀, or refutation of sin²θW = 3/8 at unification. Revising an experimental prediction openly is less comfortable than letting it stand. Publishing this correction is the minimum owed to any reader who may have planned laboratory follow-up on the basis of v1.
