Effect of shear viscosity on spectra, elliptic flow, and Hanbury Brown–Twiss radii
Effect of shear viscosity on spectra, elliptic flow, and Hanbury Brown–Twiss radii
I calculate the first correction to the thermal distribution function of an expanding gas due to shear viscosity. With this modified distribution function I estimate viscous corrections to spectra, elliptic flow, and HBT radii in hydrodynamic simulations of heavy ion collisions using the blast wave model. For reasonable values of …
