Temperature Effect on Shear and Bulk Viscosities of QCD Matter

arXiv:1702.01420 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.97.056011

Abstract

We investigate the temperature dependence of the shear and bulk viscosities and their ratios to the entropy density via a continuum QCD approach. We calculate the pion mass and decay constant in the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD and the pion thermal width by combining with Roy equations. We obtain then the variation behaviors of the viscosities, especially a novel feature of the bulk viscosity, with respect to temperature.
