Properties of the QGP created in heavy-ion collisions

We review the properties of the strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at finite temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $μ_B$ as created in heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. The description of the strongly interacting (non-perturbative) QGP in equilibrium is based on the effective propagators and couplings from the Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM) that is matched to reproduce the equation-of-state of the partonic system above the deconfinement temperature $T_C$ from lattice QCD. Based on a microscopic transport description of heavy-ion collisions we discuss which observables are sensitive to the QGP creation and its properties.

Exploring the partonic phase at finite chemical potential in and out-of equilibrium

We study the influence of the baryon chemical potential $μ_B$ on the properties of the Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) in and out-of equilibrium. The description of the QGP in equilibrium is based on the effective propagators and couplings from the Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM) that is matched to reproduce the equation-of-state of the partonic system above the deconfinement temperature $T_c$ from lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We calculate the transport coefficients such as the ratio of shear viscosity $η$ and bulk viscosity $ζ$ over entropy density $s$, i.e., $η/s$ and $ζ/s$ in the $(T,μ_B)$ plane and compare to other model results available at $μ_B =0$. The out-of equilibrium study of the QGP is performed within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach extended in the partonic sector by explicitly calculating the total and differential partonic scattering cross sections (based on the DQPM propagators and couplings) evaluated at the actual temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $μ_B$ in each individual space-time cell of the partonic scattering. The traces of their $μ_B$ dependences are investigated in different observables for relativistic heavy-ion collisions with a focus on the directed and elliptic flow coefficients $v_1, v_2$ in the energy range 7.7 GeV $\le \sqrt{s_{NN}}\le 200$ GeV.

The traces of their $μ_B$ dependences are investigated in different observables for symmetric Au+Au and asymmetric Cu+Au collisions such as rapidity and $m_T$- distributions and directed and elliptic flow coefficients $v_1, v_2$ in the energy range 7.7 GeV $\le \sqrt{s_{NN}}\le 200$ GeV.

Transport coefficients of hot and dense matter

We present calculations for the shear viscosity of the hot and dense quark-gluon plasma (QGP) using the partonic scattering cross sections as a function of temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $μ_B$ from the dynamical quasiparticle model (DQPM) that is matched to reproduce the equation of state of the partonic system above the deconfinement temperature $T_c$ from lattice QCD. To this aim we calculate the collisional widths for the partonic degrees of freedom at finite $T$ and $μ_B$ in the time-like sector and conclude that the quasiparticle limit holds sufficiently well. Furthermore, the ratio of shear viscosity $η$ over entropy density $s$, i.e. $η/s$, is evaluated using these collisional widths and are compared to lQCD calculations for $μ_B$ = 0 as well. We find that the ratio $η/s$ is in agreement with the results of calculations within the original DQPM on the basis of the Kubo formalism. Furthermore, there is only a very modest change of $η/s$ with the baryon chemical $μ_B$ as a function of the scaled temperature $T/T_c(μ_B)$.
