Kinetic theory of a longitudinally expanding system

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-04-20 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We use kinetic theory in order to study the role of quantum fluctuations in the isotropization of the pressure tensor in a system subject to fast longitudinal expansion, such as the matter produced in the early stages of a heavy ion collision.
