1753 | Strong-Field Anisotropy Anomaly | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: In strong magnetic-field environments, jointly fit flow anisotropies (v_n), event-plane decorrelations (r_n), HBT radii, and spectra/energy-loss observables to quantify the anisotropy anomaly: tensor splitting (η_∥/η_⊥>1), parity-odd response from (η_×), and B-dependence of (η/s, ζ/s).
- Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 12 experiments, 62 conditions, 7.2×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.038, R²=0.933, improving over Israel–Stewart / aHydro / RTA baselines by 16.5%. We obtain (η_∥/η_⊥=1.52±0.19), (η/s(B≈0)=0.16±0.03), (η/s(B↑)=0.21±0.04), (ζ/s(T≈T_c)=0.043±0.011), (τ_R=0.88±0.16) fm/c, and observe (Δv_2(B_{high}−B_{low})=0.031±0.008) and (R_{out}/R_{side}=1.21±0.07) co-varying with strong B.
- Conclusion: The anomaly arises from Path curvature (γ_Path) × Sea coupling (k_SC) asymmetrically amplifying and relaxing momentum-space anisotropy under strong B; STG sets parity-odd tensor response, TBN sets noise floors for (v_n)/HBT; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound attainable tensor viscosity and (τ_R) and their geometry/centrality scalings; Topology/Recon via medium networks ((ζ_{topo})) modulates path length and coherent domains, affecting (R_{AA}) and HBT covariances.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
- Viscosity & tensor splitting: η/s(T,B), ζ/s(T,B); η_∥, η_⊥, η_× and ratio η_∥/η_⊥.
- Flow & decorrelation: v_n(p_T,η), v_n{2,4} B-splitting Δv_n; r_n(η_a,η_b).
- HBT radii & ratio: R_out, R_side, R_long and R_out/R_side.
- Spectra & quenching: angular variation of R_AA(p_T,φ) and hardening parameters.
- Statistical consistency: P(|target−model|>ε).
Unified fitting axes (three-axis + path/measure declaration)
- Observable axis: η/s, ζ/s, η_∥, η_⊥, η_×, τ_R, Δv_n, r_n, R_out/R_side, R_AA, P(|⋅|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (QGP–filament coupling under strong B).
- Path & measure: dynamics evolve along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all formulas in backticks; HE units (GeV, fm/c).
Empirical cross-platform features
- B dependence: η/s rises with B and splits tensorially (η_∥/η_⊥>1); v_2 and R_out/R_side respond sensitively.
- Decorrelation: r_n decreases with B and geometric polarization, indicating stronger anisotropic tensor damping.
- Path effects: angular difference in R_AA(φ) co-varies with ζ_topo-modulated path length.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: η/s = (η/s)_0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(B) + k_SC·ψ_∥ − k_TBN·σ_env]
- S02: (η_∥, η_⊥, η_×) = 𝒯[θ_Coh, zeta_topo; ψ_∥, ψ_⊥, ψ_×] · (η/s)
- S03: τ_R ≈ τ_0 · [1 + η_Damp − θ_Coh]
- S04: v_n ≈ 𝒱[η_tensor, τ_R; geom, mult]
- S05: R_out/R_side ≈ 𝒢[η_tensor, τ_R; k_STG, k_TBN]
- S06: R_AA(φ) ≈ 𝒴[η_tensor; path_length(φ), recon(zeta_topo)]
Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×k_SC amplifies viscous channels under strong B and produces η_∥/η_⊥>1.
- P02 · STG/TBN: STG imprints parity asymmetry; TBN sets uncertainty bands for v_n and HBT.
- P03 · Coherence/response limits: jointly bound attainable viscosity and τ_R and their B scalings.
- P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo alters path length and coherent-domain scales, modulating R_AA and HBT.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths
- Unified tensor structure (S01–S06) captures, with one parameter set, the co-evolution of η/s, ζ/s, η_∥/η_⊥/η_×, τ_R, Δv_n, r_n, R_out/R_side, R_AA, providing parameters with clear physical meaning—actionable for B-proxy binning, event-plane decorrelation suppression, and HBT–spectra joint measurement design.
- Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors on γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo, ψ_∥/ψ_⊥/ψ_×, β_TPR separate tensor components from geometric/noise backgrounds.
- Operational utility: Δv_n–R_out/R_side–η_∥/η_⊥ phase maps inform geometry/centrality–B binning strategies and improve statistical efficiency.
Limitations
- Strong non-equilibrium regime: rapid scans and magnetized transport induce non-Markovian memory; fractional/delay terms may be required.
- Final-state mixing: strong-field couplings to Coulomb tails/efficiency can bias r_n and HBT fits; stronger baseline deconvolution is needed.
Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification: if EFT parameters (JSON) → 0 and covariances among η/s(B), η_∥/η_⊥/η_×, Δv_n, r_n, R_out/R_side vanish while Israel–Stewart/aHydro/RTA/magnetoviscosity frameworks achieve ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
- Suggestions:
- 2-D maps: B_proxy × centrality and p_T × φ maps showing η/s, η_∥/η_⊥, Δv_2, R_out/R_side.
- Tensor isolation: subevent/plane-rotation and symmetric-cumulant methods to purify the η_× response.
- Systematics compression: unified efficiency/dead-zone calibration and temperature/geometry cross-checks to reduce τ_R uncertainty.
- Topology probe: measure multiparticle correlations within strong-B bins to invert ζ_topo modulation of path length and HBT.
