Vortex reconnections produce intense,

Purpose

Collide two antiparallel vortex filaments and capture the phonon burst emitted at reconnection.

What it proves

A $235\times$ compressible-energy spike appears in $\lesssim 10$ coherence times, with power-law tail and hard cut-off reminiscent of a gamma-ray burst light curve.

Relation to current theory

GRBs are usually attributed to neutron-star mergers or collapsars. SVT provides a *universal* burst mechanism driven by topology change — the same GPE process active in He-II vortex reconnection (Bewley et al. 2008).
