Temperature dependence of QGP viscosity over entropy ratio from hydrodynamical analysis of ALICE data in sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Within Israel-Stewart's theory of dissipative hydrodynamics, we have analyzed ALICE data for the centrality dependence of charged particles multiplicity, elliptic flow and pTp_T spectra in sNN\sqrt{s}_{NN}=2.76 TeV Pb+Pb collisions and obtained the temperature dependence of the QGP viscosity over the entropy ratio ($\etas$). If temperature dependence of $\etas$ is parameterized as $\etas=α\frac{T-T_c}{T_c}+\frac{1}{4π}$, experimental data favor αα in the range 0-0.2. α≥0.4α\geq 0.4 is not favored by the data. Experimental data in sNN\sqrt{s}_{NN}=200 GeV Au+Au collisions however, prefer αα=0.4.
