The importance of the bulk viscosity of QCD in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
read the original abstract
We investigate the consequences of a nonzero bulk viscosity coefficient on the transverse momentum spectra, azimuthal momentum anisotropy, and multiplicity of charged hadrons produced in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies. The agreement between a realistic 3D hybrid simulation and the experimentally measured data considerably improves with the addition of a bulk viscosity coefficient for strongly interacting matter. This paves the way for an eventual quantitative determination of several QCD transport coefficients from the experimental heavy ion and hadron-nucleus collision programs.

Species-dependent viscous corrections at particlization: A novel relaxation time approximation approach
A new RTA form with counter-terms yields species-dependent first-order viscous corrections that modify light-hadron yields and K/π, p/π ratios in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions.

System-size dependence of the $D^0$--$D_s^+$ flow splitting from early $D_s^+$ formation at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.36$~TeV
Sequential hadronization in a transport model predicts D0 > Ds+ v2 splitting in O-O collisions at 5.36 TeV, reproduces ALICE ordering, and identifies a linear scaling of the splitting with partonic flow accumulated be...

Rapidity dependence of mean transverse momentum fluctuation and decorrelation in baryon-dense medium
Mean transverse momentum fluctuations in baryon-rich matter are driven by energy and baryon density variations, remain robust to baryon diffusion, and show splitting between protons and antiprotons.

Electrical conductivity of QGP is estimated above deconfinement temperature via quasiparticle quarks and Gribov gluons in relaxation-time approximation, showing agreement with lattice QCD.
