Estimating η/sη/s of QCD matter at high baryon densities

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We report on the application of a cascade + viscous hydro + cascade model for heavy ion collisions in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan range, sNN=6.3…200\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=6.3\dots200 GeV. By constraining model parameters to reproduce the data we find that the effective(average) value of the shear viscosity over entropy density ratio η/sη/s decreases from 0.2 to 0.08 when collision energy grows from sNN≈7\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}\approx7 to 39 GeV.
