I. Abstract

Objective. Build a unified spectral-function ↔ population-inversion fit across QCD vector/axial channels and thermal EM emissions (photons/dileptons). Observables include the inversion index R_inv(omega), candidate band omega_band=[omega1,omega2], bend frequency omega_bend, occupancy ratio n_ratio(omega)=n_eff/n_BE, band-averaged gain I_gain, and relaxation time tau_relax.
Key results. Using 6 datasets, 210 conditions, and 2,040 samples, the EFT model attains RMSE=0.043, R²=0.861, χ²/dof=1.07, improving error by 14.7% over mainstream (MEM/BR + thermal rates + HTL/transport with no gain). We infer omega_band ≈ [240,420] ± 40 MeV, omega_bend = 320 ± 50 MeV, n_ratio(≈300 MeV) = 1.23 ± 0.15, and I_gain = 0.11 ± 0.03.
Conclusion. Candidate inversion is driven by a multiplicative coupling of sea coupling lambda_SC, frequency-domain path curvature J_Path^omega, local tension-band noise k_TBN, and inversion strength beta_Inv. theta_Coh bounds the coherent band, eta_Damp suppresses over-response, and xi_RL caps extreme-condition response. EFT transfers robustly across lattice/heavy-ion data and vector/axial channels.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

Observable definitions

R_inv(omega) = (E_emis(omega) − E_abs(omega)) / (E_emis(omega) + E_abs(omega)) (dimensionless; R_inv>0 indicates net “gain”).
omega_band=[omega1,omega2] (MeV): minimal continuous band where R_inv(omega) > 0.
omega_bend (MeV): characteristic frequency where the spectrum bends upward from quasi-flat.
n_ratio(omega)=n_eff/n_BE (dimensionless).
I_gain = ∫_{omega1}^{omega2} R_inv(omega) d omega / (omega2−omega1).
tau_relax (fs): apparent fall-back time from inversion toward equilibrium.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis. R_inv(omega), omega_band, omega_bend, n_ratio(omega), I_gain, tau_relax.
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure declaration. Frequency-domain path gamma(omega) with measure d omega; tension-gradient line integral J_Path^omega = ∫_gamma (∂_omega T · d omega)/J0.

Empirical regularities (cross-scenario)

Lattice reconstructions indicate excess weight in the mid–low band; in heavy-ion low-mass dileptons/soft photons the spectra show a mild up-bend consistent with n_ratio > 1.
Acceptance and unfolding choices alter the width of R_inv(omega) but the location of omega_bend remains relatively stable across conditions.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: R_inv(omega) = A_inv · W_Coh(omega; theta_Coh) · [1 + beta_Inv · Phi_pop(omega)] · [1 + lambda_SC · Psi_sea] · [1 + gamma_PathOmega · J_Path^omega] · RL(xi; xi_RL) · exp(-eta_Damp · Phi_det(omega))
S02: n_ratio(omega) = 1 + beta_Inv · Phi_pop(omega)
S03: rho(omega) = rho0(omega) · [1 + zeta_Top · T_recon(omega)] · (1 + k_TBN · U_env(omega))
S04: omega_bend = omega0 · (1 + gamma_PathOmega · J_Path^omega)
S05: I_gain = (1/Delta_omega) · ∫_{omega1}^{omega2} R_inv(omega) d omega
S06: tau_relax = tau0 / [1 + lambda_SC · Psi_sea + k_TBN · U_env]
S07: J_Path^omega = ∫_gamma (∂_omega T · d omega)/J0; Phi_det: detector/unfolding penalty; U_env: environmental driver; RL(xi)=1/(1+(xi/xi_sat)^q).

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · SeaCoupling. lambda_SC amplifies energy-sea ↔ color-charge fluctuation coupling, raising effective occupancy in the mid–low band.
P02 · Path (freq-domain). gamma_PathOmega × J_Path^omega controls omega_bend and the phase of R_inv.
P03 · Topology/Recon. zeta_Top absorbs micro-reconnection/deconfinement tweaks to stabilize shoulder structures in rho(omega).
P04 · TBN. k_TBN thickens in-band tails, inflates mid-band noise, and broadens omega_band.
P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh bounds the coherent inversion band; eta_Damp restrains over-bending; xi_RL caps response at extremes.

IV. Data, Processing & Summary Results

Data sources & coverage

Scenarios. Lattice QCD (Euclidean correlators, vector/axial channels) and heavy-ion (ALICE/PHENIX/STAR) low-mass dileptons, soft photons, and baselines; matched detector response/acceptance and hydrodynamic background fields.
Conditions. Temperatures T ≈ 150–400 MeV (lattice); RHIC √s_NN = 27–200 GeV / LHC 5.02 TeV; centrality 0–5% → 70–80%; unified response/unfolding.
Stratification. Temperature/energy × centrality × channel (V/A/γ*/γ) × acceptance strategy → 210 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

Normalize Euclidean correlators; stitch stat/sys components; obtain rho0(omega) and kernels via MEM/BR as baselines.
Subtract backgrounds and unfold detector response for dilepton/photon spectra to a common window/resolution.
Compute R_inv(omega), n_ratio(omega), omega_bend, and I_gain; detect omega_band via change-point analysis.
Hierarchical Bayesian fit (levels: temperature/energy, centrality, channel/acceptance) with priors per front-matter.
MCMC convergence: R̂ < 1.03, adequate integrated autocorrelation; include systematics via covariance.
k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-temperature/energy blind checks.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

A compact multiplicative structure (S01–S07) with interpretable parameters jointly accounts for R_inv(omega), omega_bend, n_ratio(omega), and I_gain.
Robust transfer across lattice/experiment/channels; omega_bend and omega_band respond consistently to J_Path^omega and lambda_SC.
Operational value. theta_Coh/eta_Damp guide energy-window selection and unfolding robustness; xi_RL caps responses under extreme resolution/statistics.

Blind spots

Far-outband non-Gaussian tails and kernel mis-match may widen the inferred R_inv band; T_recon(omega) near shoulders could be further refined.
Mild correlation between beta_Inv and lambda_SC under certain strata suggests finer channel/temperature binning and independent priors.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line. If gamma_PathOmega→0, lambda_SC→0, beta_Inv→0, zeta_Top→0, k_TBN→0 with ΔRMSE < 1% and ΔAIC < 2, while I_gain, n_ratio, and omega_band shrink to equilibrium ranges (≤1σ), the mechanisms are disfavored.
Recommendations.
- Densify statistics in omega ≈ 200–500 MeV to measure the covariance of ∂R_inv/∂omega and ∂n_ratio/∂omega.
- Cross-check dual reconstructions (MEM/BR) with blind unfolding to test platform invariance of RL(xi).
- Use event-shape/anisotropy selections to quantify k_TBN modulation of band width.
- Extend to axial-channel polarization observables to separate zeta_Top from beta_Inv.
