Picking-up four main results at RHIC
 Nearly Perfect Fluid, Large Collective Flows:
 Hydrodynamics good describes dN/dpT + v2(pT) with mass ordering
 BUT VISCOSITY EFFECTS SIGNIFICANT (finite  and f ≠feq)
 High Opacity, Strong Jet-quenching:
 RAA(pT) <<1 flat in pT - Angular correlation triggered by jets pt<4 GeV
 STRONG BULK-JET TALK: Hydro+Jet model non applicable at pt<8-10 GeV
 Hadronization modified, Coalescence:
 B/M anomalous ratio + v2(pT) quark number scaling (QNS)
 MICROSCOPIC MECHANISM RELEVANT
 Heavy quarks strongly interacting:
 small RAA large v2 (hard to get both) pQCD fails: large scattering rates
 NO FULL THERMALIZATION ->Transport Regime

f(x,p) is a Lorentz scalar &

Gives the probability to find a particle in phase-space
If one is interested to the collective behavior or to the behavior of a typical particle
knowledge of f(x,p) is equivalent to the full solution … to study the correlations
among particles one should go to f(x1,x2,p1,p2) and so on…

The Collision Term
It can be derived formally from the reduction of the 2-body distribution
Function in the N-body BBGKY hierarchy.
The usual assumption in the most simple and used case:
1) Only two-body collisions
2) f(x1,x2,p1.p2)=f(x1,p1) f(x2,p2)
The collision term describe the change in f (x,p) because:
a) particle of momentum p scatter with p2 populating the phase space in (p’1,p’2)
Closs   d 3 p2 d 3 p1d 3 p2 w( p1 , p2 , p1, p2 ) f [ 2] ( x, p1 , p2 )

The necessary and sufficient condition to have C[f]=0 is
f ( x, p1 ) f ( x, p2 )  f ( x, p1) f ( x, p2 )
Noticing that p1+p2=p’1+p’2 such a condition is satisfied by the relativistic
extension of the Boltzmann distribution:
f juttner ( p)  exp   ( p  u )   
=1/T temperature
u collective four velocity
 chemical potential
It is an equilibrium solution also with LOCAL VALUES of T(x), u(x), m(x)
The Vlasov part gives the constraint and the relation among T,u, locally
Main points:
• Boltzmann-Vlasov equation gives the right equilibrium distributions
• Close to equilibrium there can be many collisions with vanishing net effect

Integral of a divergency
We can see that ideal Hydro can be satisfied only if f=feq , on the other hand
the underlying hypothesis of Hydro is that the mean free path is so small that
the f(x,p)is always at equilibrium during the evolution.
Similarly ∂T , for f≠feq and one can do the expansion in terms of transport
coefficients: shear and bulk viscosity , heat conductivity [P. Romatschke]
At the same time f≠feq is associated to the entropy production ->

Approach to thermal equlibrium is always associated to entropy production
All these results are always valid and do not rely
on the relaxation time approx. more generally:

C[f]=0
Collision integral is associated to entropy production but if a local equilibrium
is reached there are many collisions without dissipations!
Does such an approach can make sense for a quantum system?
One can account also for the quantum effect of Pauli-Blocking
in the collision integral
f1f 2  f1 f 2  f1f 2(1  f1 )(1  f 2 )  f1 f 2 (1  f1)(1  f 2)
does not allow scattering if the final momenta have occupation number =1
-> Boltzmann-Nordheim Collision integral
This can appear quite simplistic, but notice that C[f]=0 now is
1
f FD ( p) 
1  exp   ( p  u )   
So one gets the correct quantum equilbrium distribution, but what is
F(x,p) for a quantum system?
Quantum Transport Theory
In quantum theory the evolution of a system can be described in terms of
the density matrix operator:
 ˆ
̂   wi i i and any expectation value
O(t )  Tr  (t )O
can
be
calculated
as



For any operator one can define the Weyl transform of any operator:

A( x, p)  

2
x  x  y / 2
~
~

Tr AB   A( x, p) B ( x, p) dxdy
which has the property

The Weyl transform of the density operator is called Wigner function

 
~

O  Tr ̂ O   fW ( x, p)O ( x, p) dxdp
fW plays in many respects
the same role of the distribution

However for pure state fW can be negative so it cannot be a probability
On the other hand if we interpret its absolute value as a probabilty it does
not violate the uncertainty principle because one can show:
fW ( x , p ) 


1 dN

 DN 

So if we go in a phase space smaller than
DxDp<h/2 one can never locate a particle
In agreement with the uncertainty principle

This exactly equivalent to the Equation for the denity matrix or the Schr. Eq.

explicitly and still accounting for quantum evolution when the gradient
of the potential are not too strong :

A very rough estimate for the QGP

Suppression of v2 respect the ideal 4h/s=1
LHC – 4h/s=1 + f.o.
RHIC – 4h/s=1 + f.o.
RHIC – 4h/s=2 +No f.o.
At LHC the contamination of mixed and hadronic phase becomes negligible

Does the NJL chiral phase transition affect
the elliptic flow of a fluid at fixed h/s?
S. Plumari et al., PLB689(2010)
- NJL mean field reduce the v2 : attractive field
- If h/s is fixed effect of NJL compensated by cross section increase
- v2  h/s not modified by NJL mean field dynamics!
Next step - use a quasiparticle model
with a realistic EoS [vs(T)]
for a quantitative estimate of h/s
to compare with Hydro…

Summary for ligth QGP
Transport approach can pave the way for a consistency
among known v2,4 properties:
 breaking of v2(pT)/e & persistence of v2(pT)/<v2> scaling
 v2(pT), v4(pT) at h/s~0.1-0.2 can agree with what needed
by coalescence (QNS)
 NJL chiral phase transition do not modify v2  h/s
 Signature of h/s(T): large v4/(v2)2
Next Steps for a quantitative estimate:
 Include the effect of an EoS fitted to lQCD
 Implement a Coalescence + Fragmentation mechanism

Initial state: no partons in the vacuum but a
thermal ensemble of partons -> Use in medium quarks
No direct QCD factorization scale for the bulk:

What about v4 ?
Relevance of time scale !
 v4 more sensitive to both h/s and f.o.
 v4(pT) at 4h/s12 could also be consistent with coalescence
 v4 generated later than v2 : more sensitive to properties at TTc
Effect of EOS on v2
Decrease in v2 of about 40%
H. Song and U.Heinz
Very Large v4/(v2)2 ratio
Same Hydro with
the good dN/dpT and v2
Ratio v4/v22 not very much depending on h/s
and not on the initial eccentricity
and not on particle species …

Effect of h/s(T) on the anisotropies
