The framework consistently combines viscous hydrodynamic fields predicted by VISHNU2+1(validated with soft p_T﹤2 GeV bulk observables) and the DGLV theory of jet elastic and inelastic energy loss generalized to QGP fluids with an sQGMP color structure, including effective semi-QGP color electric quark and gluon as well as emergent color magnetic monopole degrees of freedom constrained by lattice QCD data. We vary the two control parameters of the model(the maximum value of the running QCD coupling, c, and the ratio cm of color magnetic to electric screening scales) and calculate the global х~2(α_c,c_m) compared with available jet fragment observables( R_(AA),v_2). A global х~2 minimum is found with α_c≈0.9±0.1 and c_m≈0.25±0.03. Using CIBJET, the event-by-event(ebe) generalization of the CUJET framework, we show that ebe fluctuations in the initial conditions do not significantly alter our conclusions(except for v_3). An important theoretical advantage of the CUJET and CIBJET frameworks is not only its global х~2 consistency with jet fragment observables at RHIC and LHC and with non-perturbative lattice QCD data, but also its internal consistency of the constrained jet transport coefficient, ■(E,T)/T^3, with the near-perfect fluid viscosity to entropy ratio(η/s～T^3/■～0.1-0.2) property of QCD fluids near Tc needed to account for the low p_T﹤2 GeV flow observables. Predictions for future tests at LHC with 5.44 ATeV Xe + Xe and 5.02 ATeV Pb + Pb are also presented.展开更多
