The Color String Percolation Model (CSPM) is used to determine the shear viscosity to entropy ratio ($eta/s$) of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in Au-Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV at RHIC and Pb-Pb at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV at LHC. The relativistic kinetic theory relation for $eta/s$ is evaluated using CSPM values for the temperature and the mean free path of the QGP constituents. The experimental charged hadron transverse momentum spectrum is used to determine the percolation density parameter $xi$ in Au-Au collisions (STAR). For Pb-Pb at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV $xi$ values are obtained from the extrapolation at RHIC energy. The value of $eta/s$ is 0.204$pm$0.020 and 0.262$pm$0.026 at the CSPM initial temperatures of 193.6$pm$3 MeV (RHIC) and 262.2 $pm$13 MeV (LHC) respectively. These values are 2.5 and 3.3 times the AdS/CFT conjectured lower bound $1/4pi$. We compare the CSPM $eta/s$ analytic expression with weak coupling (wQGP) and strong coupling (sQGP) calculations. This indicates that the QGP is a strongly coupled fluid in the phase transition region.

The initial temperature $T_{i}$, energy density $varepsilon_{i}$, and formation time $tau_{i}$ of the initial state of the QGP formed in the heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies are determined using the data driven Color String Percolation Model (CSPM). Multiparticle production by interacting strings stretched between projectile and target form a spanning cluster at the percolation threshold. The relativistic kinetic theory relation for $eta/s$ is evaluated as a function of $it T$ and the mean free path ($lambda_{mfp}$) using data and CSPM. $eta/s$($T_{i}$, $lambda_{mfp}$) describes the transition from a strongly interacting QGP at $T/T_{c} sim 1$ to a weakly coupled QGP at $T/T_{c} ge 6$. We find that the reciprocal of $eta/s$ is equal to the trace anomaly $Delta = varepsilon-3P/T^{4}$ which also describes the transition. We couple this initial state of the QGP to a 1D Bjorken expansion to determine the sound velocity $c_{s}^{2}$ of the QGP for 0.85 $le T/T_{c} leq 3$. The bulk thermodynamic quantities and the equation of state are in excellent agreement with LQCD results.
The Color String Percolation Model (CSPM) is used to determine the equation of state (EOS) of the QGP produced in central Au-Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 A GeV using STAR data at RHIC. When the initial density of interacting colored strings exceeds the 2D percolation threshold a cluster is formed, which defines the onset of color deconfinement. These interactions also produce fluctuations in the string tension which transforms the Schwinger particle (gluon) production mechanism into a maximum entropy thermal distribution. The single string tension is determined by identifying the known value of the universal hadron limiting temperature $T_{c}$ = 167.7 $pm$ 2.6 MeV with the CSPM percolation temperature at the critical threshold $xi_{c}$ =1.2. At mid-rapidity the initial Bjorken energy density and the initial temperature determine the number of degrees of freedom consistent with the formation of a $sim$ 2+1 flavor QGP. An analytic expression for the equation of state, the sound velocity $C_{s}^{2}(xi)$ is obtained in CSPM. The CSPM $C_{s}^{2}(xi)$ and the bulk thermodynamic values $varepsilon /T^{4}$ and $s /T^{3}$ are in excellent agreement in the phase transition region with recent lattice QCD simulations (LQCD) by the HotQCD Collaboration.
The progress over the 30 years since the first high-energy heavy-ion collisions at the BNL-AGS and CERN-SPS has been truly remarkable. Rigorous experimental and theoretical studies have revealed a new state of the matter in heavy-ion collisions, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Many signatures supporting the formation of the QGP have been reported. Among them are jet quenching, the non-viscous flow, direct photons, and Debye screening effects. In this article, selected signatures of the QGP observed at RHIC and the LHC are reviewed.
Possible phase transition of strongly interacting matter from hadron to a quark-gluon plasma state have in the past received c onsiderable interest. It has been suggested that this problem might be treated by percolation theory. The clustering of color sources with percolation (CSPM) is used to determine the equation of state (EOS) and the transport coefficient of the Quark-Gl uon Plasma (QGP) produced in central A-A collisions at RHIC and LHC energies.
Time evolution of shear viscosity $eta$, entropy density $s$, and their ratio $eta / s$ in the central area of central gold-gold collisions at NICA energy range is studied within the UrQMD transport model. The extracted values of energy density, net baryon density and net strangeness density are used as input to (i) statistical model of ideal hadron gas to define temperature, baryo-chemical potential and strangeness chemical potential, and to (ii) UrQMD box with periodic boundary conditions to study the relaxation process of highly excited matter. During the relaxation stage, the shear viscosity is determined in the framework of Green-Kubo approach. The procedure is performed for each of 20 time slices, corresponding to conditions in the central area of the fireball at times from 1~fm/$c$ to 20~fm/$c$. For all tested energies the ratio $eta / s$ reaches minimum, $left( eta/s right)_{min} approx 0.3$ at $t approx 5$~fm/$c$. Then it increases up to the late stages of the system evolution. This rise is accompanied by the drop of both, temperature and strangeness chemical potential, and increase of baryo-chemical potential.
