Abstract
Understanding the temperature dependence of the specific shear viscosity is crucial for characterizing the properties of the QCD matter produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Since, low- theory and data are only weakly sensitive to the typical forms of , especially at high temperatures, we use high- data and theory to impose additional constraints on it. Our approach, based on dynamical radiative and collisional energy loss of high- particles, provides promising results in constraining the temperature dependence of .
