Transport coefficients for multi-component gas of hadrons using Chapman Enskog method

The transport coefficients of a multi-component hadronic gas at zero and non-zero baryon chemical potential are calculated using the Chapman-Enskog method. The calculations are done within the framework of an $S$-matrix based interacting hadron resonance gas model. In this model, the phase-shifts and cross-sections are calculated using $K$-matrix formalism and where required, by parameterizing the experimental phase-shifts. Using the energy dependence of cross-section, we find the temperature dependence of various transport coefficients such as shear viscosity, bulk viscosity, heat conductivity and diffusion coefficient. We finally compare our results regarding various transport coefficients with previous results in the literature.

Thermodynamics of a gas of hadrons with attractive and repulsive interaction within S-matrix formalism

We report the effect of including repulsive interactions on various thermodynamic observables calculated using a S-matrix based Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model to already available corresponding results with only attractive interactions [A. Dash, S. Samanta, and B. Mohanty, Phys. Rev. C 97, 055208 (2018)]. The attractive part of the interaction is calculated by parameterizing the two body phase shifts using K-matrix formalism while the repulsive part is included by fitting to the experimental phase shifts which carry the information about the nature of the interaction. We find that the bulk thermodynamic variables for a gas of hadrons such as energy density, pressure, entropy density, speed of sound and specific heat are suppressed by the inclusion of repulsive interactions and are more pronounced for second and higher order correlations and fluctuations, particularly for the observables $χ^2_Q$, $χ^2_B-χ^4_B$ and $C_{BS}$ in the present model. We find a good agreement between lattice QCD simulations and the present model for $C_{BS}$. We have also computed two leading order Fourier coefficients of the imaginary part of the first order baryonic susceptibility at imaginary baryon chemical potential within this model and compared them with the corresponding results from lattice. Additionally, assuming that the value of interacting pressure versus temperature for a gas of hadrons calculated in S-matrix formalism is same as that from a van der Waals HRG (VDWHRG) model, we have quantified the attractive and repulsive interactions in our model in terms of attractive and repulsive parameters used in the VDWHRG model. The values of parameters thus obtained are $a=1.54\pm 0.064$ GeV $\text{fm}^{3}$ and $r=0.81\pm 0.014$ fm.

Interacting hadron resonance gas model in K-matrix formalism

An extension of Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model is constructed to include interactions using relativistic virial expansion of partition function. The non-interacting part of the expansion contains all the stable baryons and mesons and the interacting part contains all the higher mass resonances which decay into two stable hadrons. The virial coefficients are related to the phase shifts which are calculated using K-matrix formalism in the present work. We have calculated various thermodynamics quantities like pressure, energy density, and entropy density of the system. A comparison of thermodynamic quantities with non interacting HRG model, calculated using the same number of hadrons, shows that the results of above formalism are larger. A good agreement between equation of state calculated in K-matrix formalism and lattice QCD simulations is observed. Specifically the lattice QCD calculated interaction measure is well described in our formalism. We have also calculated second order fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges in K-matrix formalism. We observe a good agreement of second order fluctuations and baryon-strangeness correlation with lattice data below the cross-over temperature.

Metric anisotropies and emergent anisotropic hydrodynamics

Expansion of a locally equilibrated fluid is considered in an anisotropic space-time given by Bianchi type I metric. Starting from isotropic equilibrium phase-space distribution function in the local rest frame, we obtain expressions for components of the energy-momentum tensor and conserved current, such as number density, energy density and pressure components. In the case of an axis-symmetric Bianchi type I metric, we show that they are identical to that obtained within the setup of anisotropic hydrodynamics. We further consider the case when Bianchi type I metric is a vacuum solution of Einstein equation: the Kasner metric. For axis-symmetric Kasner metric, we discuss the implications of our results in the context of anisotropic hydrodynamics.

Magneto-Vortical evolution of QGP in heavy ion collisions

The interplay of magnetic field and thermal vorticity in a relativistic ideal fluid might generate fluid vorticity during the fluid evolution provided the flow fields and the entropy density of the fluid is inhomogeneous \cite{Mahajan:2010}. Exploiting this fact and assuming large magnetic Reynolds number we study the evolution of generalised magnetic field ($\hat{B}$) which is defined as a combination of the usual magnetic field ($\vec{B}$) and relativistic thermal vorticity ($ω^{μν}$), in a 2(space)+1(time) dimensional isentropic evolution of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) with longitudinal boost invariance. The temporal evolution of $\hat{B}$ is found to be different than $\vec{B}$ , and the $\hat{B}$ evolution also depends on the position of the fluid along the beam direction (taken along the z axis) with respect to the mid-plane $z=0$. Further it is observed that the transverse components ($\hat{B_{x}}$, $\hat{B_{y}}$) evolve differently around the mid-plane.
