The Glasma is a gluonic state of matter which can be created in collisions of relativistic heavy ions and is a precursor to the quark-gluon plasma. The existence of this state is a prediction of the color glass condensate (CGC) effective…
In this thesis, an approximation for the full (3+1)D dynamics of the Glasma is presented, which breaks boost-invariance on the level of the nuclear fields and leads to rapidity dependence in the final results. For this treatment, the…

The IP-Glasma initial condition has been highly successful in the phenomenology of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. The assumption of boost invariance, however, while good for collision energies probed at the LHC, limits the use of…
