abstract
Quark-Gluon plasmas produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions quickly expand and cool, entering a phase consisting of multiple interacting hadronic resonances just below the QCD deconfinement temperature. The transport properties of this hot hadron gas are poorly understood, yet they play an important role in our ability to infer transport properties of the quark-gluon plasma, because experimental measurements integrate over the whole system evolution. Assuming that the hot hadron gas can be modeled by a hadron cascade code based on kinetic theory assuming binary interactions, the shear viscosity over entropy ratio of a hot hadron gas for temperatures in between 120 MeV and 170 MeV is extracted. Furthermore, we present estimates for a second order transport coefficient, the shear viscous relaxation time at a temperature of 165 MeV.
