Description
Non-Abelian plasma instabilities play a crucial role in the non-equilibrium dynamics of a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma.
The generalization of stationary anisotropic plasmas using the so-called hard-loop approximation to the hard-expanding-loop (HEL) allows the (numerical) calculation of the full 3-dimensional time evolution of gluonic mean fields in a longitudinally expanding plasma.
Simulations on the Vienna Scientific Cluster will be shown.
