Suppression of elliptic flow in a minimally viscous quark-gluon plasma
read the original abstract
We compute the time evolution of elliptic flow in non-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions, using a (2+1)-dimensional code with longitudinal boost-invariance to simulate viscous fluid dynamics in the causal Israel-Stewart formulation. We show that even ``minimal'' shear viscosity eta/s=hbar/(4pi) leads to a large reduction of elliptic flow compared to ideal fluid dynamics, raising questions about the interpretation of recent experimental data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

Thermal Radiation from an Analytic Hydrodynamic Model with Hadronic and QGP Sources in Heavy-Ion Collisions
An analytic hydrodynamic model with QGP and hadronic photon sources reproduces measured non-prompt direct photon spectra in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions and extracts centrality-dependent initial temperatures.

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