Description
We use effective kinetic theory, accurate at weak coupling, to simulate
the pre-equilibrium evolution of transverse energy and flow perturbations in heavy-ion collisions. We provide
a Green function which propagates the initial perturbations to the energy-momentum tensor at a time
when hydrodynamics becomes applicable. With this map,
the complete pre-thermal evolution from saturated nuclei to hydrodynamics can be modelled in a perturbatively controlled way.
