Description

We explore the effect of the Glasma fields, which are used to describe the very-early stage of heavy-ion collisions, on the dynamics of heavy quarks and jets. We achieve this through numerical simulations of the strong fields, done using classical lattice gauge theory, which are then used as background for the propagation of classical particles. Based on the colored particle-in-cell method, we develop a numerical solver for the transport of the hard probes in the Glasma fields.

We study the dynamics of realistic heavy quarks and jets in the classical colored fields by extracting the momentum broadening, transport coefficients and anisotropy of the probes. Further, we investigate how the two-particle angular correlations of initially back-to-back $Q\overline{Q}$ pairs are affected by the Glasma fields.
