Bin-Stable Log-Periodic Structure in Public NIST Atomic Line List
Abstract
This work reports a reproducible log-cosine line-density scan over public NIST Atomic Spectra Database exports. The canonical Fe II analysis tests bin stability, active-domain winding, Poisson-bootstrap nulls, neighboring ions, implementation parity, and baseline sensitivity; NIST is the data provider only.
Plain-language overview
Research question
Does a reproducible log-cosine line-density scan reveal bin-stable log-periodic structure in public NIST atomic line data?
Main contribution
- Reports a reproducible log-cosine line-density scan over public NIST Atomic Spectra Database exports.
- Tests bin stability, active-domain winding, Poisson-bootstrap nulls, neighboring ions, and implementation parity for the Fe II analysis.
Evidence type
Current limitations
NIST is the public data provider only; no NIST endorsement, certification, or validation is claimed, and the analysis reports a reproducible method with null controls rather than a confirmed effect.
