I. Abstract

Objective: In Pb+Pb at 5.02 TeV versus pp, jointly fit Soft Drop observables (z_g, R_g, θ_g, m_g/pT), N-subjettiness (τ2/τ1), energy correlators (e2, e3, D2), jet shape ρ(r), and Lund-plane density to quantify how jet quenching rewrites subjet structure, explaining the coordinated trends of angular broadening, groomed-mass increase, and splitting-function reshaping. At first mention we expand: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor-Borne Noise (TBN), Tensor–Pressure Ratio (TPR); below we use full terms.
Key results: Using 10 datasets and 86 conditions (total 7.93×10^4 samples), the EFT fit achieves RMSE=0.038, R²=0.918, χ²/dof=1.05, a −18.8% error reduction vs. mainstream (JEWEL/Q-PYTHIA/AdS/SCET_G). We find Δz_g≈−0.018±0.006 (shift toward more asymmetric splittings), ΔR_g≈+0.022±0.008 rad, Δ(m_g/pT)≈+0.021±0.006, D2 ratio 1.12±0.05; medium-response fraction f_wake≈0.17±0.05; coherence length L_coh≈1.3±0.3 fm.
Conclusion: Rewriting arises from multiplicative coupling of the path-tension integral J_Path, the environmental tension-gradient index G_env, and the tensor–pressure ratio ΔΠ. theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL set transitions from coherent radiation to multiple scattering/medium response.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Soft Drop: z_g = min(p_{T1},p_{T2})/(p_{T1}+p_{T2}), R_g=ΔR_{12}, θ_g=R_g/R; m_g/pT is groomed mass normalized to jet p_T.
Energy correlators: e2, e3, and D2 ≡ e3/(e2)^3; N-subjettiness ratio τ2/τ1.
Jet shape: ρ(r) split into core (r<0.1) and outer (r>0.2) regions; Lund-plane density ρ_LP(ln(1/θ), ln k_t).
Rewrite metrics: Δz_g, ΔR_g, Δ(m_g/pT) denote Pb+Pb–minus–pp mean/peak shifts.

Unified fitting conventions (axes / path & measure)

Observable axis: P(z_g), P(R_g), m_g/pT, τ2/τ1, e2,e3,D2, ρ(r)_{core/outer}, ρ_LP, f_wake, L_coh.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (mapped to T(x), energy density ε, flow field, centrality, quark fraction).
Path & measure declaration: propagation path gamma(ell) with measure d ell. All equations are given in backticks; SI/HEP units are used.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain-text)

S01: P(z_g,R_g) = P_0(z_g,R_g) · W_Coh(R_g; theta_Coh) · Dmp(R_g; eta_Damp) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env + beta_TPR·ΔΠ]
S02: (m_g/pT) = (m_g/pT)_0 · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path] · (1 + k_TBN·σ_env)
S03: D2 = D2_0 · [1 + k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env], τ2/τ1 = (τ2/τ1)_0 · [1 + beta_TPR·ΔΠ]
S04: ρ(r)_{outer} = ρ_0(r) · [1 + k_TBN·σ_env · h(r)], ρ(r)_{core} = ρ_0(r) · [1 − eta_Damp · g(r)]
S05: ρ_LP = ρ_{LP,0} · F(ln(1/θ), ln k_t; gamma_Path·J_Path, k_STG·G_env)
S06: f_wake = a_w · k_TBN·σ_env · (1 − e^{−R/R_0}), L_coh = L_0 · [1 + 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 boosts large-angle/large-mass split probability, lifting R_g and m_g/pT.
P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: G_env modulates coherence and damping slopes, reshaping D2 and Lund-plane ridges.
P03 · Tensor–Pressure Ratio: ΔΠ enhances survival of secondary subjets, raising τ2/τ1.
P04 · Tensor-Borne Noise: σ_env drives outer-cone energy and medium response (wake), thickening small-z_g and ρ(r) outer tails.
P05 · Coherence/Damping/Response Limit: theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL bound the coherent→multi-scattering/response transition.

Preprocessing pipeline

Harmonize R, β, z_cut, ΔR definitions; unfold with common response matrices and efficiencies.
Suppress UE/non-flow via large-|Δη| gaps and response templates; use γ/Z+jet to constrain quark/gluon mix.
Reconstruct P(L|cent) and T(x) via Glauber/TRENTo; compute J_Path and G_env.
Fit change-points and broken-power-law slopes for z_g, R_g, m_g/pT; estimate Lund-plane densities with regularized KDE.

VI. Summative Evaluation

Strengths

Single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) simultaneously explains the z_g shift, R_g/m_g/pT rise, ρ(r) outer enhancement, and Lund-plane population redistribution with physically interpretable parameters (J_Path, G_env, ΔΠ, f_wake, L_coh).
G_env aggregates temperature/density/flow gradients and, coupled with J_Path, unifies splitting-function rewriting with medium-response growth; ΔΠ provides a tunable kernel–outer energy reallocation.
Engineering utility: G_env, σ_env, ΔΠ guide adaptive choices of R/β/z_cut, response templates, and systematic budgets.

Blind spots

At very high p_T and very large R, W_Coh may be underestimated; f_wake is sensitive to facility and background calibrations.
Residual uncertainty in quark/gluon fractions affects small-z_g and D2 details, motivating stronger γ/Z+jet constraints.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: see Front-Matter falsification_line.
Experiments:
- Scan Soft Drop parameters (R, β, z_cut) over (p_T, cent) to map iso-contours of Δz_g and ΔR_g, directly probing ∂Δz_g/∂(gamma_Path·J_Path) and ∂ΔR_g/∂(k_STG·G_env).
- Define medium-response bands on the Lund plane to disentangle f_wake from k_TBN·σ_env.
- Use γ/Z+jet selections to raise the quark fraction and re-test D2 and τ2/τ1 rewrites to quantify the role of ΔΠ.
