热QCD的椭圆流的中心性依赖性、流体动力学极限和粘性

The centrality dependence of elliptic flow, the hydrodynamic limit, and the viscosity of hot QCD

Hans-Joachim Drescher, Adrian Dumitru, Clement Gombeaud, Jean-Yves Ollitrault

摘要:

我们表明,在RHIC测量的椭圆流的中心性和系统大小的依赖性充分描述了一个简单的模型,偏心率标度和不完全热化的基础上。我们认为,椭圆流是至少25%低于(理想的)“流体动力学极限”,即使是最中心的金-金碰撞。由于缺乏完美的平衡,我们可以估算出夸克-胶子等离子体中的有效部分子截面,以及它的粘滞度与熵密度的比值。我们还展示了初始条件如何影响从数据中提取的输运系数和热力学量,特别是粘度和声速。

英文摘要:

We show that the centrality and system-size dependence of elliptic flow measured at RHIC are fully described by a simple model based on eccentricity scaling and incomplete thermalization. We argue that the elliptic flow is at least 25% below the (ideal) ``hydrodynamic limit'', even for the most central Au-Au collisions. This lack of perfect equilibration allows for estimates of the effective parton cross section in the Quark-Gluon Plasma and of its viscosity to entropy density ratio. We also show how the initial conditions affect the transport coefficients and thermodynamic quantities extracted from the data, in particular the viscosity and the speed of sound.
