| dc.description | The bulk of the hot and dense matter created at RHIC behaves like an almost ideal fluid. I present the evidence for this and also discuss what we can learn about the transport properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) from the gradual breakdown of ideal fluid dynamic behavior at large transverse momenta, lower beam energies, larger impact parameters, and forward rapidities. | |
| dc.description | 10 pages, 7 figures. Writeup for the proceedings (edited by G. Aarts and S. Hands) of an invited talk given at the international workshop "Extreme QCD" (Aug. 2-5, 2005, University of Wales, Swansea). Repeats some of the material presented in nucl-th/0504011, but Sections 5 and 6 are largely new (in particular Eq. (3) and related discussion) | |
