abstract

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), as extremely energetic explosions in the universe, are widely believed to consist of two stages: the prompt phase and the subsequent afterglow. Recent studies indicate that some high-energy photons are emitted earlier at source than the prompt phase. Due to the light speed variation, these high-energy photons travel slowly than the low-energy photons, so that they are observed after the prompt low-energy photons at the detector. Based on the data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST), we analyse the photon distribution before the prompt emission in detail and propose the existence of a hitherto unknown pre-burst stage of GRBs by adopting a classification method of machine learning. Analysis on the photons automatically selected by machine learning also produce a light speed variation at $E_{\mathrm{LV}}=\mathrm{3.55\times 10^{17} GeV}$.

  1. Generative Amplification with Surrogate Monte Carlo

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An amplitude surrogate trained on a few thousand exact LHC amplitude points statistically outperforms the training data, with largest amplification in sparsely populated kinematic tails of Z+g and Z+4g production.

  2. Examining Lorentz invariance violation with three remarkable GRB photons

    astro-ph.HE 2025-04 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Adding three extreme GRB photons preserves the fitted Lorentz-violation scale E_LV ~ 3e17 GeV, but only when an energy-dependent intrinsic delay term, itself a fitting construct, absorbs the new TeV photons.
