Extraction of the specific shear viscosity of quark-gluon plasma from two-particle transverse momentum correlations

Abstract The specific shear viscosity, $$\eta /s$$ η / s , of the quark-gluon plasma formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC is estimated based on the progressive longitudinal broadening of transverse momentum two-particle correlators, $$G_2$$ G 2 , reported as a function of...
