Abstract

We present an extended Bayesian analysis using Trajectum where the initial condition can now include binary scaling. For the far-from-equilibrium evolution before hydrodynamics we introduce an interpolation between free streaming and a holographically inspired evolution that exhibits fast hydrodynamization. We find strong evidence that binary scaling is incompatible with experimental data and find evidence that the holographic far-from-equilibrium evolution is preferred. We end with a discussion on several changes and improvements in the Bayesian framework.
