Abstract

Starting from IP-Glasma initial conditions, we investigate the effects of bulk pressure on low mass dilepton production at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. Though thermal dilepton v2v_2 is affected by the presence of both bulk and shear viscosity, whether or not these effects can be measured depends on the dilepton "cocktail" contribution to the the low mass dilepton v2v_2. Combining the thermal and "cocktail" dileptons, the effects of bulk viscosity on total dilepton v2v_2 is investigated.
