Recently, transport coefficients viz. shear viscosity, electrical conductivity etc. of strongly interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collisions have drawn considerable interest. We study the normalised electrical conductivity ($sigma_{rm el}$/T) of hot QCD matter as a function of temperature (T) using the Color String Percolation Model (CSPM). We also study the temperature dependence of shear viscosity and its ratio with electrical conductivity for the QCD matter. We compare CSPM estimations with various existing results and lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (lQCD) predictions with (2+1) dynamical flavours. We find that $sigma_{rm el}$/T in CSPM has a very weak dependence on the temperature. We compare CSPM results with those obtained in Boltzmann Approach to Multi-Parton Scatterings (BAMPS) model. A good agreement is found between CSPM results and predictions of BAMPS with fixed strong coupling constant.

In this work, we study electrical conductivity and Hall conductivity in the presence of electromagnetic field using Relativistic Boltzmann Transport Equation with Relaxation Time Approximation. We evaluate these transport coefficients for a strongly interacting system consisting of nearly massless particles which is similar to Quark-Gluon Plasma and is likely to be formed in heavy-ion collision experiments. We explicitly include the effects of magnetic field in the calculation of relaxation time. The values of magnetic field are obtained for all the centrality classes of Au+Au collisions at $sqrt {s_{rm NN}} =$ 200 GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at $sqrt {s_{rm NN}} =$ 2.76 TeV. We consider the three lightest quark flavors and their corresponding antiparticles in this study. We estimate the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity and Hall conductivity for different strengths of magnetic field. We observe a significant dependence of temperature on electrical and Hall conductivity in the presence of magnetic field.
Transport coefficients serve as important probes in characterizing the QCD matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Thermal and electrical conductivities as transport coefficients have got special significance in studying the time evolutio n of the created matter. We have adopted color string percolation approach for the estimation of thermal conductivity ($kappa$), electrical conductivity ($sigma_{el}$) and their ratio, which is popularly known as Wiedemann-Franz law in condensed matter physics. The ratio $kappa/sigma_{el}T$, which is also known as Lorenz number ($mathbb{L}$) is studied as a function of temperature and is compared with various theoretical calculations. We observe that the thermal conductivity for hot QCD medium is almost temperature independent in the present formalism and matches with the results obtained in ideal equation of state (EOS) for quark-gluon plasma with fixed coupling constant ($alpha_s$). The obtained Lorenz number is compared with the Stefan-Boltzmann limit for an ideal gas. We observe that a hot QCD medium with color degrees of freedom behaves like a free electron gas.

We present a fully three-dimensional initial state model for relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) collision energies. The initial energy and net baryon density profiles are produced based on a classical string deceleration model. The baryon stopping and fluctuations during this early stage of the collision are investigated by studying the net baryon rapidity distribution and longitudinal decorrelation of the transverse geometry.
The Quark Gluon String Model (QGSM) reproduces well the global characteristics of the $pp$ collisions at RHIC and LHC, e.g., the pseudorapidity and transverse momenta distributions at different centralities. The main goal of this work is to employ th e Monte Carlo QGSM for description of femtoscopic characteristics in $pp$ collisions at RHIC and LHC. The study is concentrated on the low multiplicity and multiplicity averaged events, where no collective effects are expected. The different procedures for fitting the one-dimensional correlation functions of pions are studied and compared with the space-time distributions extracted directly from the model. Particularly, it is shown that the double Gaussian fit reveals the contributions coming separately from resonances and from directly produced particles. The comparison of model results with the experimental data favors decrease of particle formation time with rising collision energy.
We test the hypothesis that configurations of a proton with a large-$x$ parton, $x_p gtrsim 0.1$, have a smaller than average size. The QCD $Q^2$ evolution equations suggest that these small configurations also have a significantly smaller interactio n strength, which has observable consequences in collisions with nuclei. We perform a global analysis of jet production data in proton- and deuteron-nucleus collisions at RHIC and the LHC. Using a model which takes a distribution of interaction strengths into account, we quantitatively extract the $x_p$-dependence of the average interaction strength, $sigma(x_p)$, over a wide kinematic range. By comparing the RHIC and LHC results, our analysis finds that the interaction strength for small configurations, while suppressed, grows faster with collision energy than does that for average configurations. We check that this energy dependence is consistent with the results of a method which, given $sigma(x_p)$ at one energy, can be used to quantitatively predict that at another. This finding further suggests that at even lower energies, nucleons with a large-$x_p$ parton should interact much more weakly than those in an average configuration, a phenomenon in line with explanations of the EMC effect for large-$x_p$ quarks in nuclei based on color screening.
