Viscosity Of The Quark Gluon Plasma – Nature’s Most Perfect Fluid

Quark Gluon Plasma [QGP] is a “soup” of hadrons subjected to extreme temperature and pressures. The QGP does not exist in nature but can be synthesized through using high-energy particle colliders; even so, the QGP only exists for an unobservable instance before freezing back into different particles. To study the QGP, complex computer models must be employed to recreate the steps from particle impact until detection. The modeled output is then compared to experimental observables from the particle colliders from which information regarding the QGP may be extrapolated. In this poster, the viscosity of the QGP is tuned to Pb - Pb collisions and used to describe Xe - Xe collisions. The lead-tuned parameters are verified to be consistent for both itself and xenon, providing evidence that the QGP is nature's most perfect fluid.
