Relic Neutrino Capture Rate on Tritium in a Bounce Frame
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper computes a specific neutrino quantity in a cosmology whose collapse is regulated by a maximum density, the Aldred Limit evaluated on its neutron branch at 9.72e+54 grams per cubic centimetre. Capture of relic neutrinos on tritium would produce electrons above the beta-decay endpoint, separated by twice the neutrino mass. It is the only proposed direct detection of the relic background, and its rate is fixed by the local relic number density and the capture cross section. The calculation gives the following headline values: tritium_mass_g = 100, standard_rate_per_year = 4.0, n_nu_cm3 = 56.0, fractional_change = 4.1095615496779844e-49, rate_change_per_year = 1.6438246198711938e-48. Each value is obtained from stated assumptions by the deposited script and is compared with published observational values where such values exist. Where the computed frame effect is far below observational reach, that negative result is stated plainly rather than softened. This study is simulated and computed from stated assumptions; it is not a measurement.
