Bayesian inference analysis of jet quenching using inclusive jet and hadron suppression measurements
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Collaboration reports a new determination of the jet transport parameter <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <a:mover accent="true"> <a:mi>q</a:mi> <a:mo>̂</a:mo> </a:mover> </a:math> in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) using Bayesian inference, incorporating all available inclusive hadron and jet yield suppression data measured in heavy-ion collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This multi-observable analysis extends the previously published Bayesian inference determination of <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <c:mover accent="true"> <c:mi>q</c:mi> <c:mo>̂</c:mo> </c:mover> </c:math> , which was based solely on a selection of inclusive hadron suppression data. is a modular framework incorporating detailed dynamical models of QGP formation and evolution, and jet propagation and interaction in the QGP. Virtuality-dependent partonic energy loss in the QGP is modeled as a thermalized weakly coupled plasma, with parameters determined from Bayesian calibration using soft-sector observables. This Bayesian calibration of <e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <e:mover accent="true"> <e:mi>q</e:mi> <e:mo>̂</e:mo> </e:mover> </e:math> utilizes active learning, a machine-learning approach, for efficient exploitation of computing resources. The experimental data included in this analysis span a broad range in collision energy and centrality, and in transverse momentum. In order to explore the systematic dependence of the extracted parameter posterior distributions, several different calibrations are reported, based on combined jet and hadron data; on jet or hadron data separately; and on restricted kinematic or centrality ranges of the jet and hadron data. Tension is observed in comparison of these variations, providing new insights into the physics of jet transport in the QGP and its theoretical formulation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
