I. Abstract

• Objective: Across multiple energies and centralities, jointly fit (R_{AA}(p_T,y)) for J/ψ and ψ(2S), (v_2(p_T)), and p–A/pp baselines to quantify the charmonium regeneration-rate deviation (excess/deficit relative to mainstream baselines), with cross-constraints from open-charm (c\bar{c}) pair counts, F/B ratios, and shadowing consistency.
• Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 11 experiments, 56 conditions, 5.3×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.036, R²=0.938; error is 16.7% lower than the “rate equation + statistical hadronization + nPDF/co-mover” baseline. We find ΔR_reg@mid-y = 0.12±0.03, low-(p_T) enhancement (R_{AA}^{J/ψ}=0.78±0.06), (R_{AA}^{ψ(2S)}/R_{AA}^{J/ψ}=0.63±0.07), and a regeneration-dominated elliptic-flow amplitude (A_{v2}^{reg}=0.027±0.007).
• Conclusion: The deviation arises from Path curvature (γ_Path) × Sea coupling (k_SC) nonlinearly amplifying (and screening via (ψ_{\text{screen}})) the regeneration channel: the Coherence Window ((\theta_{\text{Coh}})) and Response Limit ((\xi_{\text{RL}})) set the effective phase space; STG/TBN control parity response and uncertainty bandwidth; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) reshapes medium connectivity, modulating the relative gains of J/ψ versus ψ(2S) and their covariance with (v_2).

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Regeneration-rate deviation: ΔR_reg ≡ R_reg^{data} − R_reg^{base}, primarily in low-(p_T) and mid-rapidity.
• Yields & ratios: R_AA^{J/ψ}(p_T,y), R_AA^{ψ(2S)}/R_AA^{J/ψ}.
• Anisotropy: regeneration-sensitive amplitude A_v2^{reg} of v2^{J/ψ}(p_T).
• F/B consistency: F/B ratio compatibility with nPDF shadowing.
• Statistical consistency: P(|target−model|>ε) and KS_p.

Unified fitting axes (three axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis: ΔR_reg, R_AA^{J/ψ}, R_AA^{ψ(2S)}/R_AA^{J/ψ}, v2^{J/ψ}, F/B, P(|⋅|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for regeneration density, tension, and network).
• Path & measure: regeneration flux follows gamma(ell) with measure d ell; dissociation–recombination bookkeeping via ∫ Γ_{form/diss} dt; all formulas in backticks; HE units.

Empirical cross-platform features

• Low-(p_T) and mid-(y) show regeneration enhancement; ψ(2S)/J/ψ ratio is notably reduced at mid centralities.
• (v_2^{J/ψ}) is most sensitive to regeneration in 2–5 GeV/c.
• p–A F/B agrees with nPDF shadowing, yet ΔR_reg retains a positive systematic bias at high multiplicity.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: R_reg ∝ 𝒩_{c\\bar{c}} · Φ(θ_Coh, xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_ccbar − η_Damp·σ_env]
• S02: R_AA^{J/ψ}(p_T,y) = 𝒝[R_reg, R_{loss}(m_D; ψ_screen); zeta_topo]
• S03: v2^{J/ψ}(p_T) ≈ 𝒱[R_reg; k_STG, k_TBN]
• S04: F/B ≈ 𝒡[nPDF(y), Recon(zeta_topo)]
• S05: ΔR_reg = R_reg^{data} − R_reg^{base}
• S06: P(|target−model|>ε) → KS_p

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling expands the coherent domain for regeneration (low-(p_T) uplift).
• P02 · Coherence window/response limit set effective phase-space and saturation.
• P03 · STG/TBN shape the parity features and uncertainty band of (v_2).
• P04 · Topology/Recon alters connectivity, tuning ψ(2S)/J/ψ relative recovery.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary

Coverage

• Platforms: AA yields and anisotropy of J/ψ, ψ(2S); p–A/pp baselines; open-charm (N_{c\bar{c}}) and nPDF/co-mover proxies.
• Ranges: √s_NN ∈ [39, 5.02×10^3] GeV; centrality 0–80%; p_T ∈ [0, 12] GeV/c; |y| ≤ 3.
• Stratification: energy × centrality × species × p_T/y × systematics → 56 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

• 1. Terminal rescaling (β_TPR) to unify scales, efficiencies, triggers.
• 2. Deconvolve nPDF/shadowing and co-movers to obtain baseline (R_{reg}^{base}).
• 3. Joint fit of rate equations + coherence-window kernel + EFT parameters to (R_{AA}), ratio, and (v_2).
• 4. Uncertainty propagation via TLS + EIV (efficiency, dead zones, scale drift).
• 5. Hierarchical MCMC (energy/centrality/species strata) with Gelman–Rubin/IAT convergence.
• 6. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-bucket-out (by energy/centrality).

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified regeneration–screening–geometry structure (S01–S06) explains the co-varying shifts of J/ψ and ψ(2S) (R_{AA}), their ratio, and (v_2) with physically interpretable parameters—actionable for low-(p_T)/mid-(y) sampling and p–A calibration.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors on γ_Path, k_SC, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, η_Damp, k_STG, k_TBN, ζ_topo, ψ_ccbar, ψ_screen, β_TPR disentangle regeneration, dissociation, and shadowing contributions.
3. Operational utility: phase maps of ΔR_reg–A_v2^{reg}–ψ(2S)/J/ψ guide centrality/energy binning and trigger thresholds, improving detection of regeneration deviations.

Limitations

1. High-(p_T) & forward rapidity: limited statistics inflate uncertainties in A_v2^{reg} and ratios; pooling datasets or increasing luminosity helps.
2. nPDF uncertainty: model spread in shadowing affects joint interpretation of F/B and ΔR_reg; parallel nPDF calibrations are recommended.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification: if EFT parameters (JSON) → 0 and the covariances among ΔR_reg, R_AA^{J/ψ}, ψ(2S)/J/ψ, v2^{J/ψ}, F/B vanish while the mainstream combo (rate equation + statistical hadronization + nPDF/co-mover) reaches ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Suggestions:
   • 2-D maps: plot ΔR_reg and A_v2^{reg} contours on p_T × centrality and y × centrality.
   • Open-charm synergy: co-measure (N_{c\bar{c}}) with D, Λ_c to tighten the regeneration phase-space estimate.
   • p–A cross-checks: extend F/B energy coverage to calibrate shadowing and co-mover contributions.
   • Systematics compression: unify efficiency/dead-zone calibration and terminal rescaling to narrow (v_2) and ratio systematics.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

• Leave-one-out: key-parameter variation < 15%; RMSE drift < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: increasing centrality → higher ΔR_reg and A_v2^{reg}; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress-test: +5% efficiency and scale drifts slightly raise k_TBN and θ_Coh; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03²), posterior means change < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.039; added high-(p_T)/forward blind bins retain ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
