Probing the shape of the quark-gluon plasma droplet via event-by-event QGP tomography

This study investigates Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions through two avenues: high-p_ frameworks and hydrodynamic modeling. Using the TₑENTo model, we find that IP-Glasma mimicking p=0 value aligns well with high-p_ data, in agreement with Bayesian analysis of the low-p_ regime. While adjusting p values may improve a fit to a particular high-p_ observable, it does not permit an earlier onset of transverse expansion.
