Perihelion in the Wet Season

A Groundwater-Driven Radon Modulation That Mimics the Solar-Neutrino Annual Signal

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement follows a 1.2-tonne liquid-scintillator prototype in a shallow mine drive for 36 months and finds its low-energy rate swinging by 5.6% a year, peaking in late January, against the 3.34% the Earth's orbit predicts. The excess tracks wet-season radon in the hall, which lags the surface bore hydrograph by 38 days; it vanishes in the one dry year, and removing the coincidence-tagged radon component returns an amplitude consistent with the orbit.
