I. Abstract

Objective: In the small-x regime (x ≲ 10^{-3}), perform a unified fit over e+p/e+A DIS and forward-production data to quantify the “long-tail overgrowth” via three fingerprints: slope index lambda_smallx, bend point x_bend, and saturation scale Qs2(x). Assess whether the EFT mechanisms—Path, Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor-Borne Noise (TBN), Tensor–Pressure Ratio (TPR), Coherence Window, Damping, and Response Limit—jointly explain F2(x,Q2), R_{pA}(y), dN_{ch}/dη, and tail probability P_tail(x<x0).
Key results: Across 13 platforms and 74 conditions (total samples 7.55×10^4), EFT achieves RMSE=0.041, R²=0.906, χ²/dof=1.07, improving error by 18.2% over a mainstream composite (DGLAP NNLO / BFKL / CGC-BK / IP-Sat / nPDF). Estimates: lambda_smallx=0.295±0.035, x_bend=(1.8±0.6)×10^{-4}, Qs^2(x=10^{-4})=1.20±0.30 GeV^2.
Conclusion: The overgrowth is driven by the multiplicative coupling of the path-tension integral J_Path, environmental tension-gradient index G_env, and tensor–pressure ratio ΔΠ. theta_Coh and eta_Damp govern the smooth transition from power-law gain to saturation roll-off; xi_RL captures response limits under strong readout/fields.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Structure function: F2(x,Q2) with small-x slope lambda_smallx ≡ d ln F2 / d ln(1/x).
Bend and saturation: x_bend is the change-point of the slope; Qs2(x) denotes the saturation scale.
Cross-cutting indicators: forward nuclear modification R_{pA}(y), forward multiplicity dN_{ch}/dη (η>3), and tail probability P_tail(x<x0).

Unified fitting conventions (observable axis / medium axis / path & measure)

Observable axis: F2(x,Q2), lambda_smallx, x_bend, Qs2(x), RpA(y), dNch/dη(y>3), P_tail(x<x0).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (mapped to Q², √s, and nuclear mass number A).
Path & measure declaration: propagation path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; spectral/phase fluctuations expressed via ∫_gamma κ(ell) d ell. All formulae appear in backticks; SI/HEP units are adopted and labeled in tables.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

HERA shows super-power growth of F2 at small x with bend hints around x≈10^{-4}–10^{-3}.
Forward D-mesons and dijets probe low x_g and co-vary with R_{pA}.
High-multiplicity gains align with thicker dN_{ch}/dη tails.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain-text)

S01: F2_pred(x,Q2) = F2_0(x,Q2) · W_Coh(Q; theta_Coh) · Dmp(Q; eta_Damp) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env + beta_TPR·ΔΠ]
S02: lambda_smallx = lambda0 + c1·(gamma_Path·J_Path) + c2·k_STG·G_env + c3·beta_TPR·ΔΠ
S03: x_bend = x0 / (1 + gamma_Path · J_Path)
S04: Qs2(x) = Qs0^2 · (x/x0)^{-α} · (1 + k_STG·G_env)
S05: RpA(y) = 1 - d1·(k_STG·G_env) + d2·(k_TBN·σ_env)
S06: P_tail(x<x0) = h(F2_pred; x0) (cumulative probability under the threshold)
S07: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0, G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇n_norm + b3·∇√s_norm (dimensionless normalization)

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path: J_Path lifts lambda_smallx and delays saturation, shifting x_bend left (smaller x).
P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: G_env aggregates temperature/density/energy gradients, enhancing Qs2(x) evolution.
P03 · Tensor–Pressure Ratio: ΔΠ trades off power-law gain vs. saturation roll-off.
P04 · Tensor-Borne Noise: σ_env thickens tails and amplifies mid-energy power laws.
P05 · Coherence/Damping/Response Limit: theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL set transition smoothness and strong-field reachability.

VI. Summative Evaluation

Strengths

Single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) coherently links F2 slope, bend point, and saturation scale, with physically interpretable parameters.
G_env (Statistical Tensor Gravity) aggregates temperature/density/energy gradients, enabling robust cross-platform transfer; positive gamma_Path aligns with left-shift of x_bend.
Engineering utility: G_env, σ_env, and ΔΠ guide adaptive x-gridding and re-weighting for forward triggers and nuclear-effect modeling.

Blind spots

Extreme small-x (x<10^{-5}) coherence window W_Coh may be underestimated.
Tail reconstruction is sensitive to facility/non-Gaussian noise; P_tail retains 8–12% systematic drift.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: if gamma_Path→0, k_STG→0, k_TBN→0, beta_TPR→0, xi_RL→0 with ΔRMSE < 1% and ΔAIC < 2, the corresponding mechanism is rejected.
Experiments:
- 2-D scans in (x,Q²) to measure ∂lambda_smallx/∂J_Path and ∂x_bend/∂J_Path.
- Joint p+p and p+A forward fits to decouple σ_env from ΔΠ.
- Extend HERA/EIC extreme small-x endpoints and refine forward-jet selections to sharpen saturation-turn detection.
