A Sign-Locked, Falsifiable Bridge Between Jet Quenching and Near-Threshold J/ψ Photoproduction

This dataset and accompanying paper present a falsifiable relationship connecting heavy-ion jet quenching and near-threshold J/ψ photoproduction. The release includes the full manuscript, three cleaned GlueX differential cross section tables, analysis scripts, and metadata files required for reproducibility. The study introduces a scalar “strain” field ε that couples to the gluonic energy density, predicting a sign-locked relationship between confinement tension and the gluonic mass radius of the proton.
