AI 中文摘要
重离子碰撞中的夸克胶子等离子体(QGP)到强子物质的相变及量子色动力学(QCD)临界点,可通过间歇度分析研究末态粒子间的空间涨落来识别。本文首次提出在二维角(赝快度η、方位角φ)相空间中,以EPOS作为背景模型的基于持续同调簇(CMC)的间歇度分析。临界涨落信号极弱,仅占总事例样本的百分之几,且被占绝对多数的非临界背景严重稀释,致使传统间歇度分析无法可靠提取信号。为提取微弱的临界信号,本文采用结合拓扑数据分析(TDA)与深度学习的两阶段拓扑机器学习框架:第一阶段将粒子事例表示为二维点云,构建基于德劳内(Delaunay)的子水平集过滤,提取贝蒂(Betti)曲线作为多尺度拓扑不变量,通过方位角随机化校正多重性偏差,并用拓扑点网络(TPN)与提升决策树(BDT)两种互补架构分类;由于仅事例级分类不足以恢复临界标度,第二阶段应用粒子级密度过滤器,明确剥离弥散的热背景并隔离密集堆积的临界团簇。该两阶段流程成功恢复了归一化阶乘矩的幂律标度,实现了(η, φ)空间中间歇度指数的准确恢复,确立了拓扑机器学习作为一种鲁棒的数据驱动工具,用于探测大型强子对撞机(LHC)能量下重离子碰撞中QCD临界点与强相互作用物质的相结构。
英文摘要
The QGP-to-hadronic matter phase transition and QCD critical point in heavy-ion collisions can be identified by studying spatial fluctuations among final-state particles using intermittency analysis. First CMC-based intermittency analysis in the two-dimensional angular ($η$, $φ$) phase space, using EPOS as the background model is presented. Critical fluctuation signals are extremely weak, constituting only a few percent of the total event sample and are severely diluted by the overwhelming non-critical background, rendering traditional intermittency analyses insufficient for reliable signal extraction. To extract the weak critical signal, we employ a two-stage topological machine learning framework combining Topological Data Analysis (TDA) with deep learning. In the first stage, particle events are represented as two-dimensional point clouds and a Delaunay-based sub-level set filtration is constructed to extract Betti curves as multiscale topological invariants, corrected for multiplicity bias via azimuthal randomisation and classified by two complementary architectures, a TopoPointNet (TPN) and Boosted Decision Trees (BDT). Since event-level classification alone is insufficient to restore the critical scaling, a second stage applies a particle-level density filter, explicitly stripping away the diffuse thermal background and isolating the densely packed critical clusters. The two stage pipeline successfully restores the power-law scaling of the normalized factorial moments, enabling accurate recovery of the intermittency index in ($η$, $φ$) space and establishing topological machine learning as a robust data driven tool for probing the QCD critical point and the phase structure of strongly interacting matter in heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies.
