Abstract

This work introduces a novel approach to the nuclear deformation factor RAAR_{\text{AA}}, grounded in the dynamical effects of the Quark-Gluon Plasma on parton momentum. The approach uses the Blast-Wave method combined with Tsallis Statistics, within the Cooper-Frye freeze-out framework and, by profiting from appropriate simplifications, it gives analytical expressions that describe the observed RAAR_{\text{AA}} for two sets of independent measurements at s=2.76\sqrt{s}=2.76 TeV and s=5.02\sqrt{s}=5.02 TeV. A nonlinear dynamical equation describes the dynamics and leads to log-periodic oscillations. With the analytical solutions for that equation, it is possible to link the dynamical approach with the complex-qq formalism, which was proposed to describe the log-oscillations observed in experimental data.
