OpenMuCF: Open FAIR rate ledger + differentiable muon-catalyzed-fusion cycle/energy auditor

Abstract

OpenMuCF is open, reproducible, differentiable, uncertainty-bearing infrastructure for the muon-catalyzed-fusion (μCF) cycle: a FAIR rate ledger with per-row provenance, conditions, uncertainty, established/contested tags and validity ranges; a JAX/diffrax cycle-kinetics and net-electrical energy-balance engine; and a global Sobol/forward-UQ auditor that turns point-estimate breakeven claims into error-barred, falsifiable verdicts. It introduces no new fundamental μCF physics — the cycle is textbook and the reactivation transport follows Stodden (1990) and Rafelski–Müller (1988/89) — its contribution is the open shared substrate plus honest findings; it complements GEANT4 and does not compete with it.
