Revisiting the role of saturation in diffractive vector meson production
Heikki Mäntysaari, Heikki Mäntysaari, Hendrik Roch +4
We perform a global Bayesian analysis of coherent and incoherent diffractive photoproduction in and collisions using a Color Glass Condensate (…
Nuclear structure and saturation effects from diffractive vector meson production
Heikki Mäntysaari, Heikki Mäntysaari, Hendrik Roch +4
We study exclusive vector meson production in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) of a wide range of nuclei, and assess the potential of measurements to constrain the small- struc…
Learning Informed Prior Distributions with Normalizing Flows for Bayesian Analysis
Hendrik Roch, Chun Shen
We investigate the use of normalizing flow (NF) models as flexible priors in Bayesian inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling for iterative Bayesian calibration. Tra…
The effect of recoils on soft-drop-groomed observables in -tagged jets in a multistage approach
Y. Tachibana, C. Sirimanna, A. Majumder +49
We investigate medium-induced modifications to jet substructure observables that characterize hard components in central Pb-Pb collisions at ~TeV. Using a multi…
Bayesian Model Selection and Uncertainty Propagation for Beam Energy Scan Heavy-Ion Collisions
Syed Afrid Jahan, Hendrik Roch, Chun Shen
We apply the Bayesian model selection method (based on the Bayes factor) to optimize -dependence in the phenomenological parameters of the (3+1)-dimensional h…
Transport-based initial conditions for heavy-ion collisions at finite densities
H. Roch, G. Pihan, A. Monnai +53
We employ the SMASH transport model to provide event-by-event initial conditions for the energy-momentum tensor and conserved charge currents in hydrodynamic simulations of relativ…
