Anomalous viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma
The shear viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma is predicted to be lower than the collisional viscosity for weak coupling. The estimated ratio of the shear viscosity to entropy density is rather close to the ratio calculated by N = 4 super Yang–Mills theory for strong coupling, which indicates that the quark-gluon plasma might be strongly coupled. However, in the presence of momentum anisotropy, ...
متن کاملWeak-coupling techniques for the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma
We describe some of the recent progress in the calculation of thermodynamic quantities in QCD at high temperatures and densities by weakcoupling techniques and extrapolation to realistic coupling strength. We argue that a (mostly) weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma at temperatures only a few times the transition temperature is not yet ruled out by the observed fast apparent thermalization at RHI...
متن کاملAnomalous viscosity of an expanding quark-gluon plasma.
We argue that an expanding quark-gluon plasma has an anomalous viscosity, which arises from interactions with dynamically generated color fields. We derive an expression for the anomalous viscosity in the turbulent plasma domain and apply it to the hydrodynamic expansion phase, when the quark-gluon plasma is near equilibrium. The anomalous viscosity dominates over the collisional viscosity for ...
متن کاملTowards the Quark-Gluon Plasma
We discuss recent experimental results in the field of ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. The emerging “picture” is a collectively expanding, initially hot and dense fireball in which strangenessand low-mass di-lepton pair production are enhanced and J/Ψ production is suppressed compared to expectations from nucleon-nucleon collisions. It is argued that, taken together, these data provide c...
متن کاملsignal the quark gluon plasma ?
We first review the production and the possible chemical equilibration of strange particles at CERN-SPS energies within a microscopic hadronic transport calculation. It is shown in particular that the strange quarks are produced initially via string excitations in the primary, secondary and ternary interactions. We then further elaborate on a recent idea of antihyperon production by multi-meson...
