Overview of the latest developments in understanding the initial state and thermalization
Kirill Boguslavski
A proper description of the non-equilibrium matter preceding the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions and its observable consequences remain a major theoretical challen…
Pre-hydrodynamic jet momentum broadening beyond the jet quenching parameter
Alois Altenburger, Kirill Boguslavski, Florian Lindenbauer
We obtain the collision kernel and related dipole cross section during the initial nonequilibrium stages in heavy-ion collisions. These quantities are a crucial input for jet quenc…
Jet momentum broadening beyond the jet quenching parameter from QCD kinetic theory
Alois Altenburger, Kirill Boguslavski, Florian Lindenbauer
Using QCD kinetic theory, we study momentum broadening of jets using the full broadening probability (elastic collision kernel) extracted during simulations o…
Jet broadening and radiation in the early anisotropic plasma in heavy-ion collisions
Alois Altenburger, Kirill Boguslavski, Florian Lindenbauer
Measuring the energy loss of energetic jet partons may provide experimental opportunities to constrain the initial nonequilibrium stages in heavy-ion collisions, which requires the…
