Tsunamis, Viscosity and the HBT Puzzle
arXiv:0710.5733 · doi:10.1088/0954-3899/35/4/044035
Abstract
The equation of state and bulk and shear viscosities are shown to be able to affect the transverse dynamics of a central heavy ion collision. The net entropy, along with the femtoscopic radii are shown to be affected at the 10-20% level by both shear and bulk viscosity. The degree to which these effects help build a tsunami-like pulse is also discussed.
