520 ▼a I develop and apply a Bayesian method for quantitatively estimating properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an extremely hot and dense state of fluid-like matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
520 ▼a The QGP cannot be directly observed---it is extraordinarily tiny and ephemeral, about 10-14 meters in size and living 10 -23 seconds before freezing into discrete particles---but it can be indirectly characterized by matching the output of a com
520 ▼a In this dissertation, I construct a specific computational model of heavy-ion collisions and formulate the Bayesian parameter estimation method, which is based on general statistical techniques. I then apply these tools to estimate fundamental Q
520 ▼a Perhaps most notably, I report the most precise estimate to date of the temperature-dependent specific shear viscosity eta/s, the measurement of which is a primary goal of heavy-ion physics. The estimated minimum value is eta/ s = 0.085(+0.026)(
520 ▼a Other estimated quantities include the temperature-dependent bulk viscosity zeta/s, the scaling of initial state entropy deposition, and the duration of the pre-equilibrium stage that precedes QGP formation.
