A Curvature-Induced Log-Periodic Deformation of C9(q²): Wave Confinement Theory and the LHCb B⁰ → K*⁰ μ⁺μ⁻ Anomaly
Abstract
This phenomenological study introduces a WCT-motivated log-periodic deformation of C9(q²) and compares it with a constant-shift description of the LHCb anomaly. It examines frequency scans, null behavior, and the covariance and look-elsewhere limitations of the available data.
Plain-language overview
Research question
Does a WCT-motivated log-periodic deformation of C9(q²) describe the LHCb anomaly better than a constant-shift model?
Main contribution
- Introduces a WCT-motivated log-periodic deformation of C9(q²).
- Compares it with a constant-shift description of the LHCb anomaly using frequency scans and null behavior.
Evidence type
Current limitations
The study itself notes covariance and look-elsewhere limitations of the available data; it is a phenomenological comparison, not a discovery claim.
