Description

Momentum-space anisotropy present during the space-time evolution of quark-gluon-plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions may play crucial role in deciding the bulk and transport properties of the QGP. Such anisotropies can lead to Chromo-Weibel instability and responsible for turbulent Chromo-fields in RHIC. We shall highlight the relevance of such effects induced by the anisotropy in the context of heavy-quark transport and dilepton production in the QGP medium.
