These properties including the density, temperature, chemical potential, entropy density ($s$) and shear viscosity ($\\eta$), are calculated by a generalized hot Thomas Fermi formulism and a parameterized function, which was developed by Danielewicz. As the collision goes on, a transient minimal $\\eta/s=5/4\\pi-10/4\\pi$ occurs in the largest compression stage. Besides, the relationship of $\\eta/s$ to temperature ($T$) in the freeze-out stage displays a local minimum which is about 9-20 times $1/4\\pi$ around $T$ = 8-12 MeV, which can be argued as indicative of a liquid gas phase transition. In addition, the influences of nucleon-nucleon (NN) cross section ($\\sigma_{NN}$) and symmetry energy coefficient ($C_{s}$) are also discussed, and it is found that the results are sensitive to $\\sigma_{NN}$ but not to $C_{s}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2013-08-08T09:03:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.65.Mn", "25.70.-z", "02.70.Ns", "24.10.Lx" ], "keywords": [ "entropy density ratio", "quantum-molecular dynamics model", "nuclear fireball", "shear viscosity", "hot thomas fermi formulism" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2013, "month": "Aug", "volume": 88, "number": 2, "pages": "024604" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1208369, "adsabs": "2013PhRvC..88b4604Z" } } }
