In recent years, the problem of thermalization in Heavy Ion Collision has received much attention, but has yet to be solved. The issue is that on the one hand, viscous hydrodynamics simulations suggest that the matter produced in such collisions (called the Quark Gluon Plasma, or QGP) behaves like a nearly perfect fluid, and does so very shortly after the collision (around 1 fm/c). Since...
