  1. Acoustic scaling of anisotropic flow in shape-engineered events: implications for extraction (μB,T) of the QGP Roy A. Lacey Stony Brook University Zimanyi Winter School, Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University, Dec.. 2 - 6, 2013

  2. p A Current Focus of our Field Quantitative study of the QCD phase diagram Conjectured Phase Diagram • Interest • Location of the critical End point (CEP) • Location of phase coexistence lines • Properties of each phase • All are fundamental to the phase diagram of any substance Spectacular achievement: Validation of the crossover transition leading to the QGP  Necessary for the CEP? The extraction of transport coefficients is central to the heavy ion programs at RHIC and the LHC Zimanyi Winter School, Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University, Dec.. 2 - 6, 2013

  3. Current Strategy Exploit system size and beam energy lever arm (,T) at freezeout Energy scan • LHC  access to high T and small • RHICaccess to different systems and • a broad domain of the (,T)-plane • RHICBESto LHC  360 increase • LHC + BES  access to an even broader domain of the (,T)-plane Zimanyi Winter School, Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University, Dec.. 2 - 6, 2013

  4. Essential Questions Lacey et. al, arXiv:0708.3512(2008) Lacey et. al, Phys.Rev.Lett.98:092301 (2007) • ()-dependence of transport • coefficients , , etc? • The role of system size and • fluctuations? • Location of phase boundaries? • Indications for a CEP? At the CEP or close to it, anomalies in the dynamic properties of the medium can drive abrupt changes in transport coefficients Anisotropic flow is an invaluable probe DNP Fall Meeting, Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University, Oct. 25, 2013

  5. Reminder Observations η/s estimates – QM2009 • Excellent Convergence on • the magnitude of η/s at RHIC 4πη/s ~ 1 - 2 • T dependence of η/s? • μB dependence of η/s? • Possible signal for CEP? Status Quo A major uncertainty in the extraction of η/s stems from Incomplete knowledge of the Initial eccentricity εn – η/s interplay? Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University; QM11, Annecy, France 2011

  6. Status Quo Luzum et al. arXiv 0804.4015 Song et al Status Quo A major uncertainty in the extraction of η/s stems from Incomplete knowledge of the Initial eccentricity εn – η/s interplay? η/s is a property of the medium and should not depend on initial geometry! This is NOT an uncertainty; It is a failure of the method of extraction New methodology and constraints required DNP Fall Meeting, Roy A. Lacey, Stony Brook University, Oct. 25, 2013

  7. Essential message • Discovery of the acoustic nature of flow leads to specific scaling patterns which : • Give profound mechanistic insight on viscous damping • Provide constraints for • initial state geometry and its fluctuations • Extraction of the specific viscosity • (,T) dependence of the viscous coefficients • Hints for a possible critical point?
