The theoretical curve of $\\eta/s$ as a function of the incident energy for the head-on Au+Au collisions displays that a minimum region of $\\eta/s$ has been approached at higher incident energies, where the minimum $\\eta/s$ value is about 7 times Kovtun-Son- Starinets (KSS) bound (1/4$\\pi$). We argue that the onset of minimum $\\eta/s$ region at higher incident energies corresponds to the nuclear liquid gas phase transition in nuclear multifragmentation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-06-28T14:03:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "66.20.-d", "25.70.-z" ], "keywords": [ "shear viscosity", "entropy density", "incident energy", "nuclear liquid gas phase transition", "multifragmentation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "EPL (Europhysics Letters)", "year": 2012, "month": "Jun", "volume": 98, "number": 6, "pages": 66003 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1120298, "adsabs": "2012EL.....9866003Z" } } }
