Journal ArticleDOI

Extracting hadronic viscosity from microscopic transport models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the inclusion of a pion-chemical potential, which is bound to arise due to the separation of chemical and kinetic freezeout during the collision evolution, will reduce the value of η/s, and argue that introduction of other chemical potentials could ensure the successful application of (viscous) hydrodynamics to collisions at RHIC.
Journal ArticleDOI

η/s of a Relativistic Hadron Gas at RHIC: Approaching the AdS/CFT bound?

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the origin of the low viscosity matter at the RHIC must be in the partonic phase of the reaction, and that the value of η / s poses a challenge for viscous relativistic hydrodynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hadronization via Recombination

TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic simulation model of heavy-ion collisions was developed in which a quark-gluon plasma, starting from a certain initial condition, evolves hydrodynamically until it reaches the phase boundary, and then hadronizes by valence quark recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI

K-factors in parton cascades at RHIC and SPS

TL;DR: In this paper, different treatments for the inclusion of higher-order perturbative QCD corrections in parton based transport models of relativistic heavy-ion collisions are studied and their influence on experimental observables is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy quark energy loss and thermalization in hot and dense nuclear matter

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how the initial configuration of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and its properties affect the final state spectra and elliptic flow of heavy flavor mesons and non-photonic electrons.
