Abstract
To extract bulk QGP properties, we perform a joint Bayesian calibration of bulk-medium parameters using low- bulk and high- tomography within a common medium evolution. Low- observables are computed with \textsc{TRENTo}+\textsc{VISHNU}; temperature profiles are passed to \textsc{DREENA-A} to predict light/heavy and . Gaussian-process emulation enables Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling of the low--only and joint posteriors. The low--only case underpredicts high- anisotropy; the joint calibration matches both sectors and markedly tightens bulk-parameter constraints, demonstrating the added power of high- data.
