A New Interpretation of Transient Resonance Signals in High-Energy Collisions Based on the Photon Self-Lock Threshold and Survivorship-Bias Mechanism

High-energy electron-positron collision experiments continuously detect abundant transient high-energy resonance signals. Among them, high-energy peaks represented by the X(2370) structure are interpreted within mainstream paradigms as core evidence for glueballs, supporting the gluon-binding theory of quantum chromodynamics. Breaking away from conventional particle-physics models, this paper adopts the frameworks of the photon-origin theory, photon self-lock configuration, energy-threshold rules and survivorship-bias screening for material persistence to reconstruct a self-consistent underlying interpretation of experimental observations. This paper proposes a strict persistence-threshold screening rule governing cosmic material systems: all material structures are formed by photon self-locking. Only configurations matching specific energy-threshold ranges and standard charge states can persist stably over long periods. The long-lived material forms are limited to positive-/negative-electrons, positive-/negative-protons, and positive-/negative-neutrons. All transient photon clusters generated in high-energy collisions, regardless of their energy scale or size, are unstable transitional structures that rapidly disintegrate back into free photons. The transient high-energy structure X(2370) has an energy of 2370 MeV, approximately 2.5 times the rest-energy of a proton (938 MeV). This experimental fact demonstrates that gamma-ray photons produced by electron-positron annihilation can gain substantial energy through successive collisions, easily exceeding the energy thresholds of protons and neutrons. The conventional assumption that electron-positron collisions cannot reach proton-forming energy levels contradicts experimental data. Even when collision energies exceed the threshold for proton generation, stable protons are not observed to form. Reasonable inference suggests that the limiting factor is insufficient matching of internal photon self-lock configurations and unfavorable transient-collision environmental constraints rather than insufficient energy. Meeting the energy threshold is a necessary but not sufficient condition for stable-proton formation. Publicly available experimental literature does not report whether protons are produced within this high-energy channel, leaving potential observational gaps caused by paradigm-driven interpretation. Based on experimental data, this paper proposes prospective directions for improved experimental observation, offering a new self-consistent theoretical framework for research into particle origins and matter-formation mechanisms while preserving an independent physical interpretation.
