The leading Lyapunov exponent in the glasma
Pooja, Dana Avramescu, Tuomas Lappi
We show that small perturbations in the boost-invariant color fields of the glasma exhibit an exponential growth with the square root of time. We interpret this growth rate as a Ly…
Light-front Hamiltonian jet evolution in the Glasma
Dana Avramescu, Carlos Lamas, Tuomas Lappi +2
We develop a light-front Hamiltonian formalism to study the real-time quantum evolution of a high-energy quark propagating through the Glasma phase of a heavy-ion collision. In thi…
Kinetic and canonical momentum broadening in the Glasma
Dana Avramescu, Carlos Lamas, Tuomas Lappi +2
We lay the foundations for a quantum formalism describing the real-time evolution of particles in the Glasma phase of a heavy-ion collision, focusing on the implications of gauge i…
Initial stage jet momentum broadening in tBLFQ formalism
Dana Avramescu, Carlos Lamas, Tuomas Lappi +2
We study the momentum broadening of a high-energy quark jet in the large density gluon medium created right after the collision of two ultrarelativistic heavy nuclei, the Glasma. P…
Heavy flavor angular correlations as probes of the glasma
Dana Avramescu, Vincenzo Greco, Tuomas Lappi +2
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…
Heavy flavor angular correlations as a direct probe of the glasma
Dana Avramescu, Vincenzo Greco, Tuomas Lappi +2
We use classical equations of motion for heavy quarks to show that the pre-equilibrium glasma phase of a heavy ion collision has an extremely strong effect on heavy quark angular c…
