Abstract

The estimation of \(\zeta /s\) by matching experimental measurements of flow coefficients and the results from hydrodynamic simulations is hard for the bulk viscosity because of the difficulty of disentangle its effect with respect to the bigger effect of the shear viscosity.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Incidentally, the same data [11] taken at low \(p_{\perp }\) can be used to fit the rest-frame Bose-Einstein thermal distribution parameters (temperature and pion chemical potential) in Eq. (10.37).

  2. 2.

    The small ALICE group in CIEMAT, Madrid, is attempting it.
