"Low-mass dielectrons are an important probe for the hot and dense medium which is created in
ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Since leptons do not interact strongly, they carry
information from all collision stages with negligible final state interaction. While pp collisions
provide a reference measurement for a medium-free environment, the impact of cold nuclear matter
effects on...

"In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions nuclear matter is heated to a temperature exceeding that necessary to create a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Traditionally, second order viscous hydrodynamics has been used to reproduce the soft collective flow of the QGP and hadronic spectra; however, due to rapid longitudinal expansion in the early stages of evolution, the system may possess substantial...

"We derive the form of the viscous corrections to the phase-space distribution function due to bulk viscous pressure and shear stress using the iterative Chapman-Enskog method. We then calculate the transport coefficients necessary for the second-order hydrodynamic evolution of the bulk viscous pressure and the shear stress tensor. We demonstrate that the transport coefficients obtained using...

We derive equations of motion for a system undergoing boost-invariant
longitudinal and azimuthally symmetric transverse Gubser flow using
leading order anisotropic hydrodynamics. This is accomplished by assuming
that the one-particle distribution function is ellipsoidally symmetric in
the momenta conjugate to the de Sitter coordinates used to parametrize the
Gubser flow. We then...

The interplay between shear and bulk viscosities on the flow harmonics, vn's, at RHIC is investigated using the newly developed relativistic 2+1 hydrodynamical code v-USPhydro that includes bulk and shear viscosity effects both in the hydrodynamic evolution and also at freeze-out. While shear viscosity is known to attenuate the flow harmonics, we find that the inclusion of bulk viscosity...
