Description
We present a preliminary Bayesian parameter estimation study of Pb+Pb collisions at √sₙₙ = 5.02 TeV using the NuclearConfectionery framework, which combines Trento initial conditions, CCAKE 2.0 viscous hydrodynamics, BQSSampler particlization, and the SMASH hadronic afterburner. Gaussian Process Emulators trained on 176 design points were used to model charged-particle multiplicities, mean transverse momentum, and flow harmonics. Posterior distributions obtained through MCMC sampling indicate that the shear viscosity η/s and nucleon width are reasonably constrained, while the freeze-out temperature remains weakly constrained. These results provide a baseline for future higher-statistics analyses.
