I. Abstract

Objective. Build a unified turbulence–particle production fit for the freeze-out boundary layer in heavy-ion collisions. Observables include ECR(pT,cent) (edge-to-core yield ratio), Delta_Teff (spectral hardening), B_over_M_edge (baryon/meson at edge), Delta_v2_edge, r_eta_decorrelation, HBT_aniso, and ell_coh, benchmarked against mainstream baselines without boundary-layer turbulence.
Key results. Across 5 experiment/simulation families, 240 conditions, and 2,180 samples, the EFT model attains RMSE=0.042, R²=0.868, χ²/dof=1.07, improving error by 15.1% over baselines. Inference yields ECR@0.5–2 GeV = 1.18±0.06, Delta_Teff = +14±5 MeV, Delta_v2_edge = 0.012±0.004, r_eta = 0.86±0.05, and ell_coh = 1.4±0.3 fm.
Conclusion. Boundary-layer turbulence drives edge–core differences via a multiplicative coupling beta_Turb·Phi_turb × gamma_PathBL·J_Path^BL × lambda_SC·Psi_sea × k_TBN·U_env. theta_Coh bounds coherence, eta_Damp suppresses over-leakage, and xi_RL caps extreme-condition response.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

Observable definitions

ECR(pT,cent) = Yield_edge/Yield_core (dimensionless; edge selected by geometric/flow thresholds).
Delta_Teff = T_eff(edge) − T_eff(core) (MeV).
B_over_M_edge: baryon/meson ratio at edge (e.g., p/π, Λ/K).
Delta_v2_edge = v2_edge − v2_core; r_eta_decorrelation (0–1).
HBT_aniso = R_out/R_side|edge; ell_coh: boundary coherence length (fm).

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis. ECR, Delta_Teff, B_over_M_edge, Delta_v2_edge, r_eta_decorrelation, HBT_aniso, ell_coh.
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure declaration. Boundary curve gamma(s) with arc-length measure d ell; J_Path^BL = ∫_gamma (∇_n T · d ell)/J0 where ∇_n T is the normal tension gradient.

Empirical regularities (cross-scenario)

For mid–high centralities and strong shear, soft yield at large angles increases (ECR>1), consistent with left-shifted x_{Jγ} and improved missing-pT balance.
HBT radii show mild edge anisotropy (R_out/R_side upturn), while r_eta decreases, indicating stronger longitudinal decorrelation.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: ECR = A0 · W_Coh(L; theta_Coh) · [1 + beta_Turb · Phi_turb(Re, eps_diss)] · [1 + lambda_SC · Psi_sea] · [1 + gamma_PathBL · J_Path^BL] · RL(xi; xi_RL) · exp(-eta_Damp · Phi_out)
S02: Delta_Teff = a0 + a1 · beta_Turb · eps_diss + a2 · J_Path^BL
S03: B_over_M_edge = b0 · [1 + zeta_Top · T_recon] · [1 + beta_Turb · Phi_turb]
S04: Delta_v2_edge = c0 + c1 · beta_Turb · zeta_Top + c2 · k_TBN · U_env
S05: r_eta_decorrelation = 1 / [1 + kappa_eta · L / ell_coh], with ell_coh = ell0 · (1 + lambda_SC · Psi_sea)
S06: HBT_aniso = 1 + h1 · J_Path^BL + h2 · beta_Turb
S07: J_Path^BL = ∫_gamma (∇_n T · d ell)/J0; Phi_out: outer-cone penalty; U_env: environmental driver; RL(xi)=1/(1+(xi/xi_sat)^q).

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path. J_Path^BL enhances edge–core contrasts and modulates HBT anisotropy.
P02 · SeaCoupling. lambda_SC aggregates energy-sea ↔ color-cluster coupling and lengthens ell_coh.
P03 · Topology/Recon. zeta_Top absorbs micro-reconnection effects on baryonization.
P04 · TBN. k_TBN thickens outer tails and mid-band noise, boosting Delta_v2_edge variability.
P05 · Coh/Damp/RL. theta_Coh bounds coherence; eta_Damp restrains over-leakage; xi_RL caps extremes.

IV. Data, Processing & Summary Results

Data sources & coverage

Scenarios. LHC (ALICE/CMS/ATLAS) PbPb at 2.76/5.02 TeV: identified spectra and anisotropies, event-plane decorrelation; RHIC (STAR): HBT radii; matched hydrodynamic boundary-layer shear/turbulence fields.
Conditions. Centrality 0–5% → 70–80%, |eta|≤2.5, pT=0.2–5 GeV/c; unified response & acceptance.

Stratification & pre-processing

Edge selection via local shear |∂u/∂n| and energy-density thresholds; define edge/core regions.
Unified response/efficiency corrections; build core reference; compute ECR, Delta_Teff, Delta_v2_edge, r_eta.
Map hydro fields to experimental bins; extract eps_diss, Re, J_Path^BL.
Hierarchical Bayesian fit (levels = energy, centrality, η/pT bins) with priors as in front-matter; MCMC convergence R̂ < 1.03.
Systematics via covariance; k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-centrality blinds.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

A single multiplicative structure (S01–S07) with a small, interpretable parameter set jointly explains ECR/Delta_Teff/Delta_v2_edge/r_eta/HBT_aniso co-variations and transfers well across energies and experiments.
Clear coherent modulation of edge–core contrasts by beta_Turb and gamma_PathBL; lambda_SC extends ell_coh and improves low-pT recovery.
Operational value. theta_Coh/eta_Damp guide η and pT windowing and outer-cone weighting to raise detectability; xi_RL controls pileup/saturation ceilings.

Blind spots

Very large-angle, low-statistics non-Gaussian tails may be under-estimated; T_recon near complex edge geometries can be refined.
Mild correlation between beta_Turb and k_TBN in some strata suggests further event-shape/vorticity binning for deconvolution.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line. If gamma_PathBL→0, lambda_SC→0, beta_Turb→0, zeta_Top→0, k_TBN→0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, while ECR/Delta_Teff/r_eta converge to baseline (≤1σ), the mechanisms are disfavored.
Recommendations.
- Densify centrality×η scans on the grid R=0.2/0.4/0.6, pT=0.5–3 GeV to measure ∂ECR/∂L and ∂r_eta/∂L.
- Use event-plane selection and ESE binning to quantify beta_Turb modulation of Delta_v2_edge.
- Combine 3D HBT fits with edge/core segmentation to test linearity between HBT_aniso and J_Path^BL.
- Include isobar/light-ion systems to disentangle volume and geometry systematics.
