A temperature dependent bulk viscosity coefficient is used in 3 + 1-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. I study the effect of the increase of bulk viscosity around the critical temperature on the system dynamics in central Pb+Pb collisions at √ sNN = 2760 GeV. With increasing bulk viscosity the lifetime of the system increases slightly. Also the shape of the freeze-out hypersurface changes, the outer layers of the fireball live longer. This effect causes a small reduction of the ratio of two interferometry radii Rout/R side , improving the agreement with experimental data.
An extended time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory which includes the effects of nucleonnucleon collisions is presented and applied to the small-amplitude quadrupole motions of 160 and 4~The collision term of the theory includes not only the Born term but also higher-order terms. It is found that the higher-order terms are essential to the damping of the motions.
Head-on collisions of 16 Oϩ 16 O are calculated using an extended version of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory known as the time-dependent density-matrix theory ͑TDDM͒. TDDM deals with both one-body and two-body dissipation in a quantum-mechanical way. A newly developed TDDM code, which includes spin-orbit force in a mean field, is used. It is found that the threshold energy above which the colliding nuclei do not fuse increases due to two-body dissipation. Head-on collisions of 22 Oϩ 22 O are also calculated to investigate the effects of two-body collisions in exotic nuclei. In contrast to the case of 16 Oϩ 16 O, no additional dissipation due to two-body collisions is found in the head-on collisions of 22 Oϩ 22 O.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
