We study the influence of the baryon chemical potential $mu_B$ on the properties of the Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) in and out-of equilibrium. The description of the QGP in equilibrium is based on the effective propagators and couplings from the Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM) that is matched to reproduce the equation-of-state of the partonic system above the deconfinement temperature $T_c$ from lattice QCD. We study the transport coefficients such as the ratio of shear viscosity $eta$ and bulk viscosity $zeta$ over entropy density $s$, i.e. $eta/s$ and $zeta/s$ in the $(T,mu)$ plane and compare to other model results available at $mu_B =0$. The out-of equilibrium study of the QGP is performed within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach extended in the partonic sector by explicitly calculating the total and differential partonic scattering cross sections based on the DQPM and the evaluated at actual temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $mu_B$ in each individual space-time cell where partonic scattering takes place. The traces of their $mu_B$ dependences are investigated in different observables for symmetric Au+Au and asymmetric Cu+Au collisions such as rapidity and $m_T$- distributions and directed and elliptic flow coefficients $v_1, v_2$ in the energy range 7.7 GeV $le sqrt{s_{NN}}le 200$ GeV.

We study the influence of the baryon chemical potential $mu_B$ on the properties of the Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) in and out-of equilibrium. The description of the QGP in equilibrium is based on the effective propagators and couplings from the Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM) that is matched to reproduce the equation-of-state of the partonic system above the deconfinement temperature $T_c$ from lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We calculate the transport coefficients such as the ratio of shear viscosity $eta$ and bulk viscosity $zeta$ over entropy density $s$, i.e., $eta/s$ and $zeta/s$ in the $(T,mu_B)$ plane and compare to other model results available at $mu_B =0$. The out-of equilibrium study of the QGP is performed within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach extended in the partonic sector by explicitly calculating the total and differential partonic scattering cross sections (based on the DQPM propagators and couplings) evaluated at the actual temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $mu_B$ in each individual space-time cell of the partonic scattering. The traces of their $mu_B$ dependences are investigated in different observables for relativistic heavy-ion collisions with a focus on the directed and elliptic flow coefficients $v_1, v_2$ in the energy range 7.7 GeV $le sqrt{s_{NN}}le 200$ GeV.
We review the transport properties of the strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies, i.e. out-of equilibrium, and compare them to the equilibrium properties. The description of the strongly interacting (non-perturbative) QGP in equilibrium is based on the effective propagators and couplings from the Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM) that is matched to reproduce the equation-of-state of the partonic system above the deconfinement temperature $T_c$ from lattice QCD. We study the transport coefficients such as the ratio of shear viscosity and bulk viscosity over entropy density, diffusion coefficients, electric conductivity etc. versus temperature and baryon chemical potential. Based on a microscopic transport description of heavy-ion collisions we, furthermore, discuss which observables are sensitive to the QGP formation and its properties.
This is a contribution for the Proceedings of the Conference Hot Quarks 2016, held at South Padre Island, Texas, USA, 12-17 September 2016. I briefly review some thermodynamic and baryon transport results obtained from a bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton holographic model engineered to describe the physics of the quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and baryon density. The results for the equation of state, baryon susceptibilities, and the curvature of the crossover band are in quantitative agreement with the corresponding lattice QCD results with $2+1$ flavors and physical quark masses. Baryon diffusion is predicted to be suppressed by increasing the baryon chemical potential.
We argue that hadron multiplicities in central high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions are established very close to the phase boundary between hadronic and quark matter. In the hadronic picture this can be described by multi-particle collisions whose importance is strongly enhanced due to the high particle density in the phase transition region. As a consequence of the rapid fall-off of the multi-particle scattering rates the experimentally determined chemical freeze-out temperature is a good measure of the phase transition temperature.
We calculate transport coefficients of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) within the dynamical quasiparticle model (DQPM) by explicitly computing the parton interaction rates as a function of temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $mu_B$ on the basis of the DQPM couplings and partonic propagators. The latter are extracted from lattice QCD by matching the equation of state, entropy density and energy density at $mu_B$= 0. For baryon chemical potentials $0 leq mu_B leq 500 MeV$ we employ a scaling Ansatz for the effective coupling which was shown before to lead to thermodynamic consistent results in this range. We compute the ratio of the shear and bulk viscosities to the entropy density, i.e. $eta/s$ and $zeta/s$, the electric conductivity $sigma_0/T$ as well as the baryon diffusion coefficient $kappa_B$ and compare to related approaches from the literature. We find that the ratios $eta/s$ and $zeta/s$ as well as $sigma_0/T$ are in accord with the results from lattice QCD at $mu_B$=0 and only weakly depend on the ratio $T/T_c(mu_B)$ where $T_c(mu_B)$ denotes the critical temperature at finite baryon chemical potential.
