The shear viscosity of quark-gluon matter calculated with parton transport and comparisons with the Chapman-Enskog results
Mason Alexander Ross, Zi-Wei Lin
We numerically calculate the shear viscosity of quark-gluon matter via the Green-Kubo relation with an improved ZPC model. We include all parton cross sections…

Baryon and electric charge stoppings in nuclear collisions and the role of strangeness
Mason Alexander Ross, Zi-Wei Lin
It has been challenging to quantitatively understand the stopping of incoming nucleons in nuclear collisions, and recently it has been proposed that comparing the baryon stopping w…

Effectiveness of parton cascade in solving the relativistic Boltzmann equation in a box
Todd Mendenhall, Zi-Wei Lin
We benchmark the ZPC parton cascade with an exact analytical solution of the relativistic Boltzmann equation for a homogeneous and massless gas with a constant and isotropic elasti…
