Constraining the onset of viscous hydrodynamics
arXiv:0907.3893 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.10.055
Abstract
We derive two general criteria that can be used to constrain the initial time of the onset of 2nd-order conformal viscous hydrodynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We show this explicitly for 0+1 dimensional viscous hydrodynamics and discuss how to extend the constraint to higher dimensions.
