Shear Viscosity of Collider-Produced QCD Matter II: Comparing a Multi-Component Chapman-Enskog Framework with AMPT in Full Equilibrium
Noah M. MacKay
Transport properties of the quark-gluon plasma are instrumental to testing perturbative quantum chromodynamics and understanding the extreme conditions of relativistic heavy-ion co…

Shear Viscosity of Collider-Produced QCD Matter I: AMY Formalism vs. A Modified Relaxation Time Approximation in 0-flavor SU(3) Theory
Noah M. MacKay
The AMY formalism is widely used to describe the transport coefficients of asymptotically hot and dense QCD matter, such as shear viscosity . In literature prior to AMY, the vis…

Shear Viscosity of an -Component Gas Mixture using the Chapman--Enskog Method under Anisotropic Scatterings
Noah M. MacKay
The analytical Chapman-Enskog formula for calculating the shear viscosity of a relativistic ideal gas, such as a massless quark-gluon plasma, has consistently demonstrated good…
