  "abstract": "The quark-gluon plasma behaves as a relativistic viscous fluid in high-energy heavy ion collisions. I develop a causal dissipative hydrodynamic model at finite baryon density for RHIC and LHC to estimate the net baryon rapidity distribution. The net baryon number is found to be carried to forward rapidity by the flow, effectively enhancing the transparency of the collisions. This suggests that the energy available for the production of a hot medium could be larger than that naively implied from experimental data. Also the distribution can be sensitive to baryon dissipation as much as to shear and bulk viscosity.",
