Transport Properties of Strong-Interaction Matter    [PDF]

J. Wambach, K. Heckmann, M. Buballa
The properties of strong-interaction matter are probed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In the context of measurements of the elliptic flow at RHIC and the LHC the shear viscosity is of particular interest. In this presentation we discuss recent results for eta/s in hadronic matter at vanishing baryo-chemical potential within kinetic theory. Using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, special attention is paid to effects arising from the restoration of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry with increasing temperature.
