Abstract
We study the effect of the glasma fields, formed in the early stage of heavy-ion collisions, on the transport of pairs produced back-to-back. We find that for pairs with moderate initial transverse momentum evolving in glasma fields with sufficiently large saturation momentum , the azimuthal correlation is quickly affected. The decorrelation widths during the glasma and Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) phases are comparable.
