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
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
