For Resonant Research
About the founder
Earl Dixon is an independent researcher and founder of the HSAG Consortium for Resonant Research, whose work sits at the intersection of solar physics, resonance-based diagnostics, computational modeling, and applied observational science.
His current work focuses on developing empirical, computation-ready diagnostics that bridge raw observational data, physical modeling, and data-driven analysis. Recent publications include the Resonance Capacity Index (RCI) — a scalar diagnostic for quantifying oscillation suppression in strong magnetic regions on the Sun using standard SDO/HMI data products.
Earl’s approach emphasizes:
-
Observational grounding
-
Mathematical transparency
-
Open scientific exchange
-
Practical computational implementation
-
All work released through HSAG is developed with the intent that it be replicable, independently testable, and instrument-agnostic wherever possible. The Consortium emphasizes measurement, diagnostics, and computational inference over speculative physical unification.
About the HSAG Consortium for Resonant Research
The HSAG Consortium for Resonant Research is an independent research initiative dedicated to the development of resonance-based physical diagnostics, coherence modeling, and applied observational methods across multiple scientific domains, including:
-
Solar physics and helioseismology
-
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
-
Atmospheric and environmental modeling
-
Coherent signal diagnostics
-
Data-driven physical inference
The Consortium operates as a publication-first research platform, releasing peer-oriented preprints, computational methods, and reproducible pipelines prior to formal institutional partnership.
Our guiding principles are:
-
Open theoretical foundations
-
Observable-first methodology
-
Computation as a scientific instrument
-
Interdisciplinary applicability
Research Philosophy
Modern science advances most rapidly where observation, computation, and physical theory intersect. The HSAG program is built on the premise that many physical suppression, coherence, and transport phenomena can be quantified using compact scalar diagnostics derived directly from observable fields.
Primary datasets include NASA SDO/HMI, NOAA, and other public heliophysical and atmospheric archives.
Rather than proposing speculative unification, our work prioritizes:
-
Metrics that can be computed from existing public datasets
-
Diagnostics that support machine-learning integration
-
Tools that enhance, not replace, established physical modeling
The Resonance Capacity Index (RCI) reflects this philosophy: a scalar field designed to complement full MHD simulation by providing rapid, interpretable suppression diagnostics across magnetized regions.
Independence & Institutional Collaboration
HSAG operates as an independent research entity. This independence allows rapid development, early publication, and open dissemination of observation-driven methodologies.
At the same time, the Consortium actively welcomes:
-
University partnerships
-
Observatory and instrument collaborations
-
Data science research groups
-
Space weather and heliophysics programs
Current publications are released as open conceptual and methods preprints with the invitation for independent validation, replication, and cross-domain application.
