Comparison of hydrodynamic calculations with experimental data inevitably requires a model for converting the fluid to particles. In this work, nonlinear $2to 2$ kinetic theory is used to assess the overall accuracy of various shear viscous fluid-to-particle conversion models, such as the quadratic Grad corrections, the Strickland-Romatschke (SR) ansatz, self-consistent shear corrections from linearized kinetic theory, and the correction from the relaxation time approach. We test how well the conversion models can reconstruct, using solely the hydrodynamic fields computed from the transport, the phase space density for a massless one-component gas undergoing a 0+1D longitudinal boost-invariant expansion with approximately constant specific shear viscosity in the range $sim 0.03 le eta/s le sim 0.2$. In general we find that at early times the SR form is the most accurate, whereas at late times or for small $eta/ssim 0.05$ the self-consistent corrections from kinetic theory perform the best. In addition, we show that the reconstruction accuracy of additive shear viscous $f = f_{rm eq} + delta f$ models dramatically improves if one ensures, through exponentiation, that $f$ is always positive. We also illustrate how even more accurate viscous $delta f$ models can be constructed if one includes information about the past evolution of the system via the first time derivative of hydrodynamic fields. Such time derivatives are readily available in hydrodynamic simulations, though usually not included in the output.

We show that the total kinetic energy (TKE) of nuclei after the spontaneous fission of $^{258}$Fm can be well reproduced using simple assumptions on the quantum collective phase-space explored by the nucleus after passing the fission barrier. Assuming energy conservation and phase-space exploration according to the stochastic mean-field approach, a set of initial densities is generated. Each density is then evolved in time using the nuclear time-dependent density-functional theory. This approach goes beyond mean-field by allowing spontaneous symmetry breaking as well as a wider dynamical phase-space exploration leading to larger fluctuations in collective space. The total kinetic energy and mass distributions are calculated. New information on the fission process: fluctuations in scission time, strong correlation between TKE and collective deformation of daughter nuclei as well as pre- and post-scission particle emission, are obtained.
We extend our hybrid model HydHSD by taking into account shear viscosity within the Israel-Stewart hydrodynamics. The influence of different forms of $pi^{mu u}$ constraints on observables is analyzed. We show that the form of the corresponding condition plays an important role for the sensitivity of viscous hydrodynamics to the ratio of shear viscosity to the entropy density, $eta/s$. It is shown that the constraint used in the vHLLE model, results in most sensitivity of rapidity distributions and transverse momentum spectra to a change of the $eta/s$ ratio; however, their applicability for large values of $eta/s$ is doubtful. On the contrary, the strict constraints from cite{MNR2010} are very strong but most established. We also found that $eta/s$ as a function of the collision energy probably has an extremum at $E_{rm lab}=10.7$ AGeV. However, we obtain that any considered condition does not allow to reproduce simultaneously pion and proton experimental data within our model.
The specific shear viscosity $bareta$ of a classically rotating system of nucleons that interact via a monopole pairing interaction is calculated including the effects of thermal fluctuations and coupling to pair vibrations within the selfconsistent quasiparticle random-phase approximation. It is found that $bareta$ increases with angular momentum $M$ at a given temperature $T$. In medium and heavy systems, $bareta$ decreases with increasing $T$ at $Tgeq$ 2 MeV and this feature is not affected much by angular momentum. But in lighter systems (with the mass number $Aleq$ 20), $bareta$ increases with $T$ at a value of $M$ close to the maximal value $M_{max}$, which is defined as the limiting angular momentum for each system. The values of $bareta$ obtained within the schematic model as well as for systems with realistic single-particle energies are always larger than the universal lower-bound conjecture $hbar/(4pi k_B)$ up to $T$=5 MeV.
The shear viscosity of hot nuclear matter is investigated by using the mean free path method within the framework of IQMD model. Finite size nuclear sources at different density and temperature are initialized based on the Fermi-Dirac distribution. The results show that shear viscosity to entropy density ratio decreases with the increase of temperature and tends toward a constant value for $rhosimrho_0$, which is consistent with the previous studies on nuclear matter formed during heavy-ion collisions. At $rhosimfrac{1}{2}rho_0$, a minimum of $eta/s$ is seen at around $T=10$ MeV and a maximum of the multiplicity of intermediate mass fragment ($M_{text{IMF}}$) is also observed at the same temperature which is an indication of the liquid-gas phase transition.
In this work we present the first steps towards benchmarking isospin symmetry breaking in ab initio nuclear theory for calculations of superallowed Fermi $beta$-decay. Using the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group, we calculate b and c coefficients of the isobaric multiplet mass equation, starting from two different Hamiltonians constructed from chiral effective field theory. We compare results to experimental measurements for all T=1 isobaric analogue triplets of relevance to superallowed $beta$-decay for masses A=10 to A=74 and find an overall agreement within approximately 250 keV of experimental data for both b and c coefficients. A greater level of accuracy, however, is obtained by a phenomenological Skyrme interaction or a classical charged-sphere estimate. Finally, we show that evolution of the valence-space operator does not meaningfully improve the quality of the coefficients with respect to experimental data, which indicates that higher-order many-body effects are likely not responsible for the observed discrepancies.
