Description

I will give a brief review on the recent progress in strong field physics and its application to early time dynamics of heavy ion collisions. In high-energy heavy ion collisions, there appear two different strong fields: electromagnetic fields and color Yang-Mills fields called glasma. Glasma is responsible for the thermalization process, while the strong electric fields will play a role of probing the early time dynamics.
