Paech & Pratt ( 06) Kharzeev & Tuchin ( 08) Mizutani et al. ( 88) In this work, we see the effects of bulk viscosity at freezeout. Outline Introduction (I) Introduction (II)
Effects of Bulk Viscosity at Freezeout Nagoya Mini Workshop, Nagoya University, March 3rd2009 Introduction (II) Cooper & Frye ( 74) In hydrodynamic analyses, the Cooper-Frye formula is necessary at freezeout: (1) to convert into particles for comparison with experimental data, (2) as an interface from a hydrodynamic model to a cascade model. freezeout hypersurface where, Particles :normal vector to the freezeout hypersurface element :distribution function of the ithparticle :degeneracy d QGP QGP hadron resonance gas Viscous effects are taken into account via (1) variation of the flow (2) modification of the distribution function This needs (3+1)-D viscous hydro. We focus on the contributions of the bulk viscosity to this phenomenon. Introduction (I) Introduction (II) Kinetic Theory (I)

Effects of Bulk Viscosity at Freezeout Nagoya Mini Workshop, Nagoya University, March 3rd2009 Kinetic Theory (II) Kinetic definitions for a multi-particle system: where giis the degeneracy and biis the baryon number. We need to see viscous corrections at freezeout. We introduce Landau matching conditions to ensure the thermodynamic stability in the 1storder theory. Landau matching conditions: , Together with the kinetic definitions we have 14 equations. Kinetic Theory (I) Kinetic Theory (II) Grad s 14-moment method

[tensor term ] vs. [scalar term + traceless tensor term ] The trace part The scalar term particle species independent (thermodynamic quantity) particle species dependent (mass dependent) - Equivalent for a single particle system (e.g. pions). - NOT equivalent for a multi-particle system. Kinetic Theory (II) Decomposition of Moments Grad s 14-moment method

Decomposition of Moments Comments on Quadratic Ansatz Grad s 14-moment method
Effects of Bulk Viscosity at Freezeout Nagoya Mini Workshop, Nagoya University, March 3rd2009 Comments on Quadratic Ansatz Effects of the bulk viscosity on the distribution function was previously considered for a massless gas in QGP with the quadratic ansatz: Dusling & Teaney ( 08) Note (1) This does not satisfy the Landau matching conditions: (2) It is not unique; the bulk viscous term could have been , or . (3) Hydrodynamic simulations need discussion for a resonance gas. We are going to derive the form of the viscous correction without this assumption, for a multi-component gas.

Effects of Bulk Viscosity at Freezeout Nagoya Mini Workshop, Nagoya University, March 3rd2009 Prefactors in Special Case We consider the Landau frame i.e. and the zero net baryon density limit i.e. , which are often employed for analyses of heavy ion collisions. -Apparently, the matching condition for the baryon number current vanishes. BUT it should be kept because it yields a finite relation even in this limit: Here, ratios of two s remain finite as 0 for and the chemical potential s cancel out. The number of equations does not change in the process. Prefactors Prefactors in Special Case Models (I)

Effects of Bulk Viscosity at Freezeout Nagoya Mini Workshop, Nagoya University, March 3rd2009 Summary & Outlook We determined fi uniquely and consistently for a multi-particle system. - For the 16-component hadron resonance gas, a non-zero trace tensor term is needed. - The matching conditions remain meaningful in zero net baryon density limit. Modification of f due to the bulk viscosity suppresses particle spectra and enhances the elliptic flow parameter v2(pT) in the high pTregion. The viscous effects may have been overestimated because (1) we considered the ideal hydrodynamic flow, and (2) the bulk pressure is estimated with the first order theory. A full (3+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamic flow is necessary to see more realistic behavior of pT-spectra and v2(pT). The bulk viscosity may have a visible effect on particle spectra, and should be treated with care to constrain the transport coefficients with better accuracy from experimental data.
