Piasecki et al. (arXiv:2603.10760, 2026) — Auroral Acceleration Generates Electron Beams in Jupiter's Middle Magnetosphere: The Juno JEDI Bidirectional Beam Data Provides the First Opportunity to Test PUH Theorem 161 (Jovian PPC Radio Tomography) via a 177.86-Minute Periodicity in the Beamness Function

Abstract:
Piasecki et al. (arXiv:2603.10760, March 11, 2026) analyse electrons measured by the Juno JEDI instrument in Jupiter’s middle magnetosphere between 13 and 50.5 Jupiter radii at energies of 30–1200 keV. They demonstrate bidirectional field-aligned electron beams throughout the observation range, fitted with a beamness function, and argue the beams originate from Jupiter’s auroral acceleration regions.
PUH Theorem 161 (Jovian PPC Radio Tomography, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19341853, filed March 30, 2026) predicts the existence of a Planck Photon Condensate (PPC) in orbit inside Jupiter with universal orbital period  minutes, independent of orbital depth. This follows from the harmonic oscillator theorem for gravitational wells.
A PPC inside Jupiter would accelerate charged particles both toward and away from Jupiter along magnetic field lines — bidirectional beams in exactly the 30–1200 keV energy range and 13–50.5  distance range that Juno JEDI measures. The PPC is a coherent point source, producing narrower pitch angle distributions than distributed auroral acceleration regions.
The decisive test: a Lomb-Scargle periodogram of the beamness function amplitude time series in the Piasecki et al. (2026) dataset should show a peak at  minutes if the PPC hypothesis is correct. Standard auroral acceleration driven by Io plasma injection at the 13-hour Io orbital period does not predict this periodicity. The two hypotheses are observationally distinguishable with existing data.
An accompanying prediction: a Doppler chirp of  Hz at the 20 MHz Jupiter decametric radio carrier — from the PPC orbital velocity  km/s — should appear cycling at 177.86 minutes in the Juno Waves instrument archive, the LWA (Long Wavelength Array) archive, and Voyager data (1979), providing a 47-year baseline.
The Galileo mission dataset (1995–2003) provides an additional 30-year baseline for the beamness function periodicity test. A 177.86-minute signal confirmed in both Galileo and Juno data would have a false-alarm probability approaching zero.
The data required to perform this test exists now. No new observations are required. Priority timestamp: March 31, 2026.
