Transport Properties of QGP within a Bayesian Holographic QCD Model

Using a holographic QCD model augmented by Bayesian inference, we calculate key transport coefficients of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)$\text{-}$including the drag force, jet quenching parameter, heavy quark diffusion coefficient, and shear and bulk viscosities$\text{-}$at finite temperature and chemical potential. Posterior parameter distributions at the 68\% and 95\% confidence levels (CL), as well as the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates, are employed to quantify uncertainties. Our findings indicate that the diffusion coefficient within the Bayesian credible regions aligns with lattice QCD results for $T \sim 1.2T_c$ to $2T_c$, and is consistent with ALICE experimental measurements near $T_c$. The jet quenching parameter obtained from the Bayesian analysis agrees with RHIC and LHC data, while viscosity coefficients show compatibility with existing literature. These results demonstrate the efficacy of a Bayesian holographic approach in elucidating the nonperturbative transport properties of QCD matter.

Abstract

Using a holographic QCD model augmented by Bayesian inference, we calculate key transport coefficients of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP)$\text{-}$including the drag force, jet quenching parameter, heavy quark diffusion coefficient, and shear and bulk viscosities$\text{-}$at finite temperature and chemical potential. Posterior parameter distributions at the 68\% and 95\% confidence levels (CL), as well as the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates, are employed to quantify uncertainties. Our findings indicate that the diffusion coefficient within the Bayesian credible regions aligns with lattice QCD results for $T \sim 1.2T_c$ to $2T_c$, and is consistent with ALICE experimental measurements near $T_c$. The jet quenching parameter obtained from the Bayesian analysis agrees with RHIC and LHC data, while viscosity coefficients show compatibility with existing literature. These results demonstrate the efficacy of a Bayesian holographic approach in elucidating the nonperturbative transport properties of QCD matter.
