Viscosity at RHIC
Scott Pratt🇺🇸 · Kerstin Paech🇺🇸
Abstract
A variety of physical phenomena can lead to viscous effects. In this talk we review several sources of shear and bulk viscosity with an emphasis on the bulk viscosity associated with chiral restoration. We show that in the limit of a second order phase transition, the viscosity peaks in a singularity at the critical point.
