Bayesian statistical inference is a powerful tool for model-data comparisons and extractions of physical parameters that are often unknown functions of system variables. Existing Bayesian analyses often rely on explicit parametrizations of the unknown function. It can introduce long-range correlations that impose fictitious constraints on physical parameters in regions of the variable space that are not probed by the experimental data. We develop an information field (IF) approach to modeling the prior distribution of the unknown function that is free of long-range correlations. We apply the IF approach to the first global Bayesian inference of the jet transport coefficient $\hat q$ as a function of temperature ($T$) from all existing experimental data on single-inclusive hadron, di-hadron and $\gamma$-hadron spectra in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. The extracted $\hat q/T^3$ exhibits a strong $T$-dependence as a result of the progressive constraining power when data from more central collisions and at higher colliding energies are incrementally included. The IF method guarantees that the extracted $T$-dependence is not biased by a specific functional form.

  1. System-size dependence of charged-particle suppression in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions

    nucl-ex 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0

    First neon-neon R_AA measurement shows charged-particle suppression increasing monotonically with nuclear size across oxygen, neon, xenon, and lead at LHC energies.

    First simultaneous Bayesian extraction of 2πT D_s and q-hat/T^3 from D-meson R_AA and v2 at 5.02 TeV, yielding a non-monotonic temperature dependence in their ratio that deviates from the expected value of 2.

  3. An improved linear Boltzmann transport model for hadron and jet suppression in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions

    nucl-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    An improved LBT model with an earlier medium-scale insertion and color-flow tracking reproduces hadron and jet nuclear modification factors together in 5.02 TeV Pb+Pb collisions.

    nucl-ex 2026-05 accept novelty 4.0

    ALICE observes strong suppression of associated hadron yields per trigger photon in central Pb-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, extending the kinematic reach of photon-hadron correlation measurements.

  5. Jet cone size dependence of single inclusive jet suppression due to jet quenching in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Jet nuclear modification factor R_AA increases with cone radius R as in-cone energy loss from elastic recoils and radiated gluons decreases at larger radii.
