Nearly perfect fluid in Au+Au collisions at RHIC
read the original abstract
In the Israel-Stewart's theory of dissipative hydrodynamics, we have analysed the STAR data on $\phi$ meson production in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV. From a simultaneous fit to $\phi$ mesons multiplicity, mean $p_T$ and integrated $v_2$, we obtain a phenomenological estimate of QGP viscosity, $\eta/s =0.07 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.14$, the first error is due to the experimental uncertainty in STAR measurements, the second reflects the uncertainties in initial and final conditions of the fluid.

Shear and bulk viscosities of the gluon plasma across the transition temperature from lattice QCD
Lattice QCD results show the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of gluon plasma reaches a minimum near the transition temperature Tc while the bulk viscosity to entropy density ratio decreases monotonically from...
