Petersen Fluid ( Thermal ) period (~10 fm) Hot QCD fluid: relativistic viscous hydrodynamics Combined with: - Initial conditions and pre-eq. dynamics - Transition to hadronic degrees of freedom (Cooper-Frye) & interactions (e.g. UrQMD) 9

10 2 order viscous hydrodynamics nd Energy density Flow velocity Bulk pressure Shear tensor Conservation of energy-momentum tensor: Complemented by equation of motions for shear and bulk: (2nd order terms) The bulk viscosity z and the shear viscosity h characterise the response of QCD to deviations from equilibrium [ Ref. For EOM: Denicol, Niemi, Molnar and Rischke (2012) PRD ] 10

11 Standard model of heavy ion collisions? Pre-equilibrium phase (~0.1-1 fm) Late hadronic phase Hydrodynamic expansion (~10 fm) Figure credits: J. Bernhard and H. Petersen Studying QCD viscosities with hadronic (&other) observables Depend on: - Initial conditions and pre-eq. dynamics (e.g. IP-Glasma) - Transport coefficients (h/s, z/s,...) and equation of state - Late stage hadronic interactions (e.g. UrQMD) 11

12 Constraining bulk viscosity QCD bulk viscosity can have measurable effects on hadronic observables Measurable effect Large suppression [ Ref.: Ryu, Paquet, Shen, Denicol, on hadronic vn of <pt> Schenke, Jeon & Gale (2015) PRL ] Mean transverse Multiplicity of p+, momentum of p+, K+ & p K+ & p v2/3/4 of charged hadrons 12

13 Temperature dependence of z/s Previous work This work Bnorm Bwidth Tpeak T/Tpeak Inspired from: HRG: Noronha-Hostler, Noronha and Greiner (2009) PRL LQCD: Karsch, Kharzeev and Tuchin (2008) PLB B norm ~ 0.3, B width ~ 0.1 T peak =180 MeV 13

14 Probabilistic parameter constraints 14

15 Observable vs parameter Charged hadron v2 vs (effective) shear viscosity: v 2=v 2 (η/ s, fixed ζ / s parametrization, lattice EOS, "IP-Glasma init.", "UrQMD") effective = no temperature dependence 15

16 Observable vs parameter vs data v 2=v 2 (η/ s, fixed ζ / s parametrization, lattice EOS, "IP-Glasma init.", "UrQMD") Data ( v2{2}= ) Hydro calculation effective = no temperature dependence 16

17 Observable vs parameter vs data v 2=v 2 (η/ s, fixed ζ / s parametrization, lattice EOS, "IP-Glasma init.", "UrQMD") Data ( v2{2}= ) Hydro calculation Data-driven extraction of h/s? 17

18 Including experimental uncertainties v 2=v 2 (η/ s, fixed ζ / s parametrization, lattice EOS, "IP-Glasma init.", "UrQMD") Data Hydro calculation Data-driven extraction of h/s (including exp. uncertainty) 18

19 Including experimental uncertainties v 2=v 2 (η/ s, fixed ζ / s parametrization, lattice EOS, "IP-Glasma init.", "UrQMD") Data Hydro calculation Data-driven extraction of h/s (including exp. uncertainty) 19

20 Uncertainties and probability distrib. v 2=v 2 (η/ s, fixed ζ / s parametrization, lattice EOS, "IP-Glasma init.", "UrQMD") ch v Data: 2 {2 }="probability distribution" with average ~ and σ ~ exp. uncertainty Hydro calculation If data is a probability distribution, constraint on h/s is one too 20

21 Theoretical uncertainties v 2=v 2 (η/ s, fixed ζ / s parametrization, lattice EOS, "IP-Glasma init.", "UrQMD") ch v Data: 2 {2 }="probability distribution" Theory prediction: probability distribution e.g. Gaussian with average= hydro calculation and s= theoretical uncert. 21

22 Bottom line v 2=v 2 (η/ s, fixed ζ / s parametrization, lattice EOS, "IP-Glasma init.", "UrQMD") Data and theory summarized as probability distribution Constraints are probabilistic Note: what if parameter is a distribution? 22

23 Probabilistic parameter constraints in equations 23

24 Mathematical formulation My favourite reference: Tarantola, A. (2005). Inverse problem theory and methods for model parameter estimation. SIAM. [the] inverse problem theory is about the quantitative rules to be used for [the] comparison between predictions and observations. (Available for free on the author s website) 24

25 Theoretical uncertainties (Gaussian) Probability distribution for observables A given parameters p : ch 2 ch 3 A={dN /dy, pt, v, v } p={η/ s(t ), ζ / s(t ), EOS,... } (Assuming Gaussian uncertainties) 25

26 Theoretical uncertainties (Gaussian) Probability distribution for observables A given parameters p : ch 2 ch 3 A={dN /dy, pt, v, v } p={η/ s(t ), ζ / s(t ), EOS,... } Covariance matrix with theoretical uncertainties e.g. Result g(p) from hydro model given parameters p : g( p)={hydro prediction for dn /dy given p, prediction for pt,...} 26

27 Theoretical uncertainties: summary Assuming Gaussian and uncorrelated uncertainties Probability distribution for observables A given a choice of parameters p : What if theoretical uncertainties are very small? How to get hydro results for every parameter set p? Use emulator [ See Novak, Novak, Pratt, Vredevoodg, (from MADAI collaboration) Coleman-Smith, Wolpert (2014) ] 27

28 Experimental uncertainties Again assuming Gaussian uncertainties Probability distribution for observables A to have a certain experimental value: ch 2 ch 3 A={dN /dy, pt, v, v } d ={135, GeV, , } Covariance matrix encoding experimental uncertainties 28

29 Probabilistic constraints The probability distribution describing the constraints on the model parameters is: C=C +C E T Ω( p) χ 2 ( p) 29

30 Probabilistic constraints The probability density describing the constraints on the model parameters is: C=C +C E T Ω( p) χ 2 ( p) Integrating W(p) over all but one parameter Integrating W(p) over all but two parameters (Results by Steffen A. Bass, Jonah E. Bernhard, J. Scott Moreland) 30

31 More subtleties Non-Gaussian uncertainties? Systematic, and theoretical uncertainties (non symmetrical) Outliers in data (Tarantola suggests e.g. long-tailed distributions) Priors 31

33 Constraining bulk viscosity QCD bulk viscosity can have measurable effects on hadronic observables Measurable effect Large suppression [ Ref.: Ryu, Paquet, Shen, Denicol, on hadronic vn of <pt> Schenke, Jeon & Gale (2015) PRL ] Mean transverse Multiplicity of p+, momentum of p+, K+ & p K+ & p v2/3/4 of charged hadrons 33

38 Data: centrality Used single mid-peripheral centrality (20-30%) at both RHIC and LHC Why only one? We used fixed initial conditions (IP-Glasma): No initial condition parameters needing fixing Also, faster! 38

39 Data: Observables What we used: pion multiplicity (dn/dy y=0) & mean pt (<pt>) pt integrated charged hadrons v2/3 Why? sensitive to bulk viscosity & some control over theoretical uncertainties (df,...)
