Abstract
We extend the weak field approximation for the Glasma beyond the boost-invariant approximation, which allows us to compute rapidity-dependent observables in the early stages of heavy-ion collisions. We show that in the limit of small fields, the weak field approximation agrees quantitatively with non-perturbative lattice simulations. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the rapidity profile of the transverse pressure is determined by longitudinal color correlations within the colliding nuclei.
