Description
We study the equilibrium properties of strongly-interacting infinite
parton-hadron matter and the non-equilibrium dynamics of heavy-ion
collisions from SIS to LHC energies within the Parton-Hadron-String
Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach, which incorporates explicit
partonic degrees of freedom in terms of strongly interacting
quasiparticles (quarks and gluons) in line with an equation of state
from lattice QCD as well as the dynamical hadronization and hadronic
collision dynamics in the final reaction phase.
The equilibration of different observables on light and
strange sector and their fluctuations in the QGP and also transport
coefficients, such as shear and bulk viscosity, electric and heat
conductivity are presented.
We investigate as well as out-off equilibrium phenomena seen in
azimuthal angular distribution in higher harmonics (v1,v2,v3,v4),
particle spectra etc. in heavy-ion collisions. We focus on the
sensitivity of different observables (in particular,
involving strange particles) to the "traces" of the QGP from
low to ultrarelativistic energies.
