Estimating $η/s$ of QCD matter at high baryon densities
Abstract: We report on the application of a cascade + viscous hydro + cascade model for heavy ion collisions in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan range, $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=6.3\dots200$ GeV. By constraining model parameters to reproduce the data we find that the effective(average) value of the shear viscosity over entropy density ratio $\eta/s$ decreases from 0.2 to 0.08 when collision energy grows from $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}\approx7$ to 39 GeV.
