Description
We present explicit implementation of effective kinetic theory
(“bottom-up”) thermalization scenario for the transverse perturbations
in a realistic boost invariant initial conditions for heavy ion
collisions. Linearized transverse energy and momentum perturbations are
propagated by leading order weak coupling kinetic theory response
functions to the time when system is described by relativistic
hydrodynamics. We demonstrate that the subsequent hydrodynamic
evolution is independent of hydro initialization time tau_init in the
overlap region and that the kinetic theory pre-equilibrium evolution
reproduces the important physics of equilibration and transverse flow dynamics.
