相对论性强子气体在RHIC的$η/s$:接近AdS/CFT边界?

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

N. Demir, S. A. Bass

摘要:

在相对论重离子对撞机(RHIC)上进行的超相对论重离子碰撞被认为产生了一种称为夸克-胶子等离子体的物质状态,其特征是剪切粘度与熵密度之比$η/s$非常小,接近AdS/CFT方法预测的下限。随着产生的物质膨胀和冷却,它通过一个由强子气体描述的具有快速增加的$η/s$的阶段演化。我们计算$η/s$作为一个函数的温度在这一阶段的化学平衡和发现,它的值构成了一个挑战的粘性相对论流体力学,这需要小的值的$η/s$,以成功地描述集体流动观测在RHIC。因此,我们得出结论,在RHIC的低粘度物质的起源必须在部分子阶段的反应。

英文摘要:

Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are thought to have produced a state of matter called the quark-gluon plasma, characterized by a very small shear-viscosity to entropy-density ratio $η/s$, near the lower bound predicted for that quantity by AdS/CFT methods. As the produced matter expands and cools, it evolves through a phase described by a hadron gas with rapidly increasing $η/s$. We calculate $η/s$ as a function of temperature in this phase both in and out of chemical equilibrium and find that its value poses a challenge for viscous relativistic hydrodynamics, which requires small values of $η/s$ in order to successfully describe the collective flow observables at RHIC. We therefore conclude that the origin of the low viscosity matter at the RHIC must be in the partonic phase of the reaction.
