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.

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.
