Abstract
The Migdal effect has traditionally been viewed as a quantum phenomenon, with its explanation relying on assumptions such as non-adiabatic transitions and quantum coupling. This paper, based on the Great Tao Model, constructs a complete explanatory framework for this effect within classical physics: following an impact, the nucleus undergoes classical accelerated motion, inducing a dynamic distortion in its charge existence field, and transfers energy continuously to the extranuclear electrons via classical electrostatic interaction, leading to their excitation or ionization. Through quantitative derivation of the existence field distortion intensity, electron energy gain, and the geometric relationship of the double-track feature, all predictions of this theory are in complete agreement with the quantitative observational results of the direct measurement experiment, including the "co-vertex double-track" characteristic and the electron energy range.. Further analysis indicates that neutrinos, due to their extremely small mass, impart recoil energies far below the effect's threshold, while Subtrons, lacking charge interaction, cannot trigger the effect at all. This paper systematically analyzes the fundamental differences between the classical and quantum mechanical explanations regarding physical reality, energy transfer mechanisms, and theoretical self-consistency, and clarifies the underlying reason why the Migdal effect cannot be used to detect Subtrons (dark matter). This study not only confirms the universality of classical physical laws at the microscopic scale, providing a novel, physically real, and logically self-consistent paradigm for understanding the Migdal effect, but also offers clear guidance for the strategic direction of frontier experiments such as dark matter detection.
