QCD plasma thermalization, collective flow and extraction of shear viscosity
Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner, Horst Stoecker
Fast thermalization and elliptic flow of QCD matter found at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are understood as the consequence of perturbative QCD (pQCD) interactions wi…
Thermalization of a color glass condensate and review of the "Bottom-Up" scenario
Andrej El, Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner
Thermalization of a longitudinally expanding color glass condensate with Bjorken boost invariant geometry is investigated within microscopical parton cascade BAMPS. Our main focus…
Perturbative QCD Calculations of Elliptic Flow and Shear Viscosity in Au+Au Collisions at GeV
Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner, Horst Stoecker
The elliptic flow and the ratio of the shear viscosity over the entropy density, , of gluon matter are calculated from the perturbative QCD (pQCD) based parton cascade B…
Shear Viscosity in a Gluon Gas
Zhe Xu, Carsten Greiner
The relation of the shear viscosity coefficient to the recently introduced transport rate is derived within relativistic kinetic theory. We calculate the shear viscosity over entro…
