Hydrodynamic-like behaviour of glasma

Nuclear Theory 2024-11-13 v3 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

At the earliest stage of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions the produced matter is a highly populated system of gluons called glasma which can be approximately described in terms of classical chromodynamic fields. Although the system's dynamics is governed by Yang-Mills equations, glasma evolution is shown to strongly resemble hydrodynamic behaviour.
