A new robust method to extract the specific shear viscosity (η/s) QGP of a quark-gluon
plasma (QGP) at temperatures T c< T≲ 2 T c from the centrality dependence of the …

Heavy-ion collisions create deformed quark-gluon plasma (QGP) fireballs which explode
anisotropically. The viscosity of the fireball matter determines its ability to convert the initial …

We present a sophisticated treatment of the hydrodynamic evolution of ultrarelativistic heavy
