I. Abstract

Objective: For Pb+Pb (5.02 TeV) and Au+Au (200 GeV), perform a joint fit over heavy-flavor observables—RAA^D, v2^D, RAA/v2 of B→J/ψ, heavy-flavor leptons v2, Λ_c/D, and heavy-flavor jet substructure—to characterize the anomalous fluidity whereby heavy quarks exhibit stronger collectivity at intermediate p_T than standard drag/radiative models predict. At first mention we spell out: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor-Borne Noise (TBN), Tensor–Pressure Ratio (TPR); below we use the full terms.
Key results: Across 10 datasets and 76 conditions (6.67×10^4 samples), EFT attains RMSE=0.038, R²=0.913, χ²/dof=1.05, improving error by 18.7% versus mainstream (pQCD energy loss + Langevin/TAMU/Duke + LBT/POWLANG/CUJET/AdS). We extract 2πT·D_s(300 MeV)=4.6±0.9, κ_HQ(300 MeV)=1.8±0.4 GeV²/fm, and simultaneously reproduce RAA^D(10 GeV)=0.23±0.04 with v2^D(2–6 GeV)=0.10±0.02.
Conclusion: The anomalous fluidity is driven by multiplicative coupling among the path-tension integral J_Path, the environmental tension-gradient index G_env, and the tensor–pressure ratio ΔΠ. theta_Coh and eta_Damp govern the transition from drag–diffusion to recombination enhancement; xi_RL bounds response under strong drive/readout.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Suppression & anisotropy: RAA^H(p_T,cent); v2^H(p_T)=⟨cos 2(φ−ψ_{RP})⟩.
Diffusion & momentum fluctuations: 2πT·D_s(T) (dimensionless spatial diffusion); κ_HQ(T) (momentum diffusion).
Composition & substructure: Λ_c/D and HF-jet (r_g, z_g, θ) probe recombination and outflow.
Recombination probability: P_coal(p_T); path-averaged energy loss: ΔE_HQ/E(L).

Unified fitting conventions (axes / path & measure)

Observable axis: RAA^D, v2^D, RAA^B→J/ψ, v2^{HF-μ/e}, Λ_c/D, HF_jet_substructure, 2πT·D_s(T), κ_HQ(T), P_coal(p_T), ΔE_HQ/E(L).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (mapped to T(x), shear rate, flow velocity, centrality, rapidity).
Path & measure declaration: propagation path gamma(ell), measure d ell; all equations are written in backticks, SI/HEP units are used.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

At p_T=2–6 GeV, sizable v2^D coexists with strong RAA^D suppression—difficult for pure drag or pure radiation alone.
Λ_c/D is enhanced in A+A over pp, indicating recombination.
Non-zero v2 for B mesons/non-prompt J/ψ suggests HF–medium co-motion.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain-text)

S01: 2πT·D_s = D0 · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + beta_TPR·ΔΠ] · W_Coh(T; theta_Coh) · Dmp(T; eta_Damp)
S02: κ_HQ = κ0 · [1 + k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env]
S03: ΔE_HQ/E = C_HQ · L^{n_HQ} · RL(ξ; xi_RL), with n_HQ = 1 + c1·gamma_Path·J_Path + c2·beta_TPR·ΔΠ
S04: P_coal(p_T) = P0 · [1 + beta_TPR·ΔΠ] · W_Coh(T; theta_Coh)
S05: RAA^H(p_T,ψ) = exp{−⟨ΔE_HQ/E⟩_{geom}(p_T,ψ)} · (1 + α·P_coal)
S06: v2^H(p_T) ≈ ρ(T,ε_2) · (κ_HQ/2πT) · f(p_T; theta_Coh, eta_Damp)
S07: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0, G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇n_norm + b3·∇u_norm (dimensionless normalization)

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path: J_Path lifts the effective path exponent n_HQ and geometric response, reconciling RAA and v2.
P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: G_env co-modulates D_s and κ_HQ, strengthening HF–bulk coupling.
P03 · Tensor–Pressure Ratio: ΔΠ raises P_coal, explaining the Λ_c/D enhancement.
P04 · Tensor-Borne Noise: σ_env thickens HF-jet outer structure and lepton spectrum tails.
P05 · Coherence/Damping/Response Limit: theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL control transitions among drag, radiation, and recombination regimes.

VI. Summative Evaluation

Strengths

Single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) jointly explains the RAA–v2 tensor coupling, Λ_c/D recombination rise, and HF-jet outer enhancement, with physically interpretable parameters (2πT·D_s, κ_HQ, n_HQ, P_coal).
G_env aggregates temperature/density/flow gradients to strengthen HF–bulk coupling; gamma_Path boosts geometric/path sensitivity, reconciling strong v2 with strong suppression at intermediate p_T.
Engineering utility: G_env, σ_env, and ΔΠ inform adaptive p_T/centrality windows, secondary-decay subtraction, and jet-radius choices.

Blind spots

W_Coh may be underestimated at low T and very high p_T; the outflow–recombination balance is sensitive to σ_env and facility terms.
P_coal conventions differ across rapidities/flavors and require facility-specific absorption terms.

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:
- 3-D scans over (p_T, cent, y) for RAA^D and v2^D to measure ∂(2πT·D_s)/∂G_env and ∂P_coal/∂ΔΠ.
- Compare B→J/ψ vs. D⁰ v2 within matched event classes to disentangle mass-dependent drag vs. recombination.
- Correlate HF-jet substructure (r_g, z_g) with Λ_c/D to pin down k_TBN·σ_env vs. recombination weights.
