Exploring the partonic phase at finite chemical potential in and out-of equilibrium


الملخص بالإنكليزية

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.
