Transport properties (A07)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields

Transport properties such as shear and bulk viscosity, electrical conductivity, and baryon and other conserved-number diffusion coefficients are key inputs for hydrodynamic descriptions of strong-interaction matter. In addition, a system undergoing rotation, or in a magnetic field, has additional response coefficients to these environmental features. This project will use non-perturbative lattice methods to compute these quantities, extending our previous results by working in full (“unquenched”) QCD. In addition, we will investigate the validity and limitations of the approaches and estimate the systematic uncertainties and will apply new lattice methods to investigate the effects of vorticity.
