Preprint predicts Higgs production enhancements in forward-rapidity region, suggesting new physics implications.
This preprint records a forward-rapidity collider prediction from the Timeless Quanta (TQ) framework. The calculation applies a Lorentz boost to the locked proton-scale curvature profile fixed by rc = 0.447 fm, sigma = 0.10 fm, and L = 1.43 fm. No additional Higgs-sector, top-sector, PDF, QCD, or detector-efficiency parameters are introduced. The primary forecast is a residual forward enhancement in H -> b bbar and H -> c cbar production over the Standard Model fiducial expectation in the region 2 < eta < 5: R_H_residual(2 < eta < 5) = 1.155 +/- 0.035. This corresponds to a forward residual excess of approximately 15.5% +/- 3.5%. A related forward-region cross-check gives a positive top-quark charge-asymmetry tendency of order +0.08. The Higgs residual is the primary testable prediction. The top-asymmetry result is retained as a cross-check requiring careful fiducial comparison. The prediction is falsifiable: after Standard Model fiducial correction, a forward residual near unity, a forward suppression, or a value below the conservative threshold R_H_residual < 1.05 would count against this application of the locked TQ geometry.
