A Possible Mechanism for the Low Shear Viscosity in the QGP Created by RHIC
arXiv:hep-ph/0610092 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.77.027701 10.1142/S0218301307007775
Abstract
We study the Anderson Localization effect on the shear viscosity in a system with random medium by Kubo formula. We show that this effect can reduce the shear viscosity nonperturbatively. Then we discuss its possible implementation in heavy-ion collisions, where the created heavy bound states or other collective modes may play the role of the random scatterer underlying Anderson Localization effect.
