QCD plasma instabilities, caused by an anisotropic momentum distributions of the particles in the plasma, are likely to play an important role in thermalization in heavy ion collisions. We consider plasmas with two different components of particles, one strongly anisotropic and one isotropic or nearly isotropic. The isotropic component does not eliminate instabilities but it decreases their growth rates. We investigate the impact of plasma instabilities on the first stage of the ``bottom-up'' thermalization scenario in which such a two-component plasma emerges, and find that even in the case of non-abelian saturation instabilities qualitatively change the bottom-up picture.

Attractors Without Scaling: Adiabatic Hydrodynamization With and Without Inelastic Scattering
Including inelastic scattering in a simplified gluon kinetic theory speeds up hydrodynamization, and attractors appear through gapped eigenstates of an effective Hamiltonian even without pre-thermal scaling.
