Momentum anisotropy generation in a hybrid approach

Anisotropic flow emerges in all three of hybrid approaches: initial conditions, viscous relativistic hydrodynamics as well as hadronic transport. Previous works focus mainly on a constant or temperature dependent shear viscosity $\eta/s$. Here instead, we study qualitatively the effect of a generalized $\eta/s(T,\mu_B)$ in the hybrid approach SMASH-vHLLE-hybrid. The parameterization takes into account the constraints of matching to the transport coefficients in the hadronic phase, as well as of recent Bayesian analysis results. We compare the effect of the different parameterizations in the intermediate energy region of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=7.7 - 39.0 GeV. We observe that using the energy density dependent parameterization decreases the effect of the point of particlization. In addition, we quantify the uncertainty due to different initial state profiles, including the SMASH initial conditions as well as TrENTo and IP-Glasma profiles. It can be shown that the initial state transverse momentum impacts final state momentum anisotropy.
