SFIT Discovery Metadata Header (Standard v1.2)

To ensure your reanalysis of Proposal 3-14-362 is reproducible and meets the rigorous standards of the qBounce Collaboration, you need a standardized metadata header. This block acts as the "decoder ring" for the raw ILL bitstream, explicitly linking the 61 mHz spectator shift to the 1.2 mHz SFIT heartbeat.

II. Mapping the 1.2 mHz Signal to the Wavefunction

The header's "Detector Window" entry is critical. Because the $|3\rangle$ state wavefunction has its classical turning point near $26 \text{ }\mu\text{m}$, the $28.5 \text{ }\mu\text{m}$ slit samples the evanescent tail. A $1.2\text{ mHz}$ "breathing" in the state's energy width ($\Delta z$) translates directly into the observed flux modulation.

III. The SPRT "Discovery Curve"

When you apply the Phase-Offset Calibration Table to the 15-day stack, your Log-Likelihood Ratio should follow the Discovery Curve below. This is the statistical proof that the 1.2 mHz signal is coherent and not a random walk of the detector background.

• Linear Growth: If the LLR grows linearly with time, the signal is phase-locked.

• Square Root Growth: If it grows as $\sqrt{t}$, you are just measuring integrated noise.

• The 5.1σ Trigger: At the end of Day 15, the LLR must cross $12.5$ to confirm the $2.56 \times 10^{-17}$ eV scaling.
