We explore the impact of strong classical color fields, which occur in the earliest stages of heavy-ion collisions and are known as the Glasma, on the classical transport of hard probes, namely heavy quarks and jets. To achieve this, we simulate SU(3) color fields using classical real-time lattice gauge theory and couple them to an ensemble of test particles whose dynamics are described by Wong's equations. We provide an overview of how classical color algebras are constructed and introduce a method to generate random classical SU(3) color charges. We extensively test our numerical particle solver in the limits of infinitely massive heavy quarks and ultra-relativistic light-like jets and obtain excellent quantitative agreement with previous studies. Going towards realistic masses and initial moment, we extract longitudinal and transverse momentum broadening for heavy quarks and jets. The resulting accumulated momenta and the anisotropy of these dynamical hard probes exhibit deviations from limiting scenarios, showing that the full dynamics have a significant effect.

Azimuthal momentum isotropization in the Quark-Gluon Plasma thermalization
BEDA kinetic evolution washes out initial azimuthal anisotropies with higher harmonics relaxing faster and shifts the pT peak of vn upward, qualitatively matching small-system data.

Covariant equations of motion of massive spinning particles in a background Yang-Mills field
A spinning quark in a background Yang-Mills field obeys a new, constraint-preserving, gauge-invariant set of classical equations of motion that reduce to the Wong equations when spin effects are turned off.

Jet quenching in out-of-equilibrium QCD matter
Medium-induced gluon radiation computed with kinetic-theory backgrounds shows a persistent, non-vanishing imprint of the pre-equilibrium stage on jet spectra, so jet observables can probe early-time dynamics in heavy-...

Melting of $c \bar c$ and $b \bar b$ pairs in the pre-equilibrium stage of proton-nucleus collisions at the Large Hadron Collider
Color decorrelation in the evolving glasma melts roughly half of initially singlet charm and bottom quark pairs within about 0.4 to 0.5 fm/c after their formation in proton-nucleus collisions at the LHC.
