Shear viscosity of hadronic gas mixtures

arXiv:0805.1684 · doi:10.1088/0954-3899/35/10/104149

Abstract

We investigate the effects of baryon chemical potential μon the shear viscosity coefficient ηand the viscosity to entropy density ratio η/s of a pion-nucleon gas mixture. We find that ηis an increasing function of T and μ, while the ratio η/s turns to a decreasing function in a wide region of T-μplane. In the kinematical region we studied, the smallest value of η/s is about 0.3.
