We explore the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma at zero and finite net-baryon density based on an effective kinetic theory of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD). By investigating the isotropization of the longitudinal pressure, we determine the relevant time and temperature scales for the onset of viscous hydrodynamics, and quantify the dependence on the chemical composition of the QGP. By extrapolating our results to realistic coupling strength, we discuss phenomenological consequences regarding the role of the pre-equilibrium phase at different collision energies.

  1. Gluon splitting rates in an anisotropic plasma in the AMY formalism

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A Fourier-mode method solves the AMY gluon-splitting equation for anisotropic collision kernels, showing the angular-averaged kernel reproduces the anisotropic rate while the common T* isotropic form deviates by over 10%.

  2. Jet broadening and radiation in the early anisotropic plasma in heavy-ion collisions

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The full angle-dependent jet-medium collision kernel is extracted from QCD kinetic theory for the pre-equilibrium plasma, revealing strong early-time anisotropy and up to 300% error in the isotropic splitting rates us...

  3. Non-perturbative quark production and transport in the evolving glasma: the WAGASHI event generator

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Schwinger pair production in the evolving glasma generates hundreds of quarks and antiquarks per unit rapidity in central Pb-Pb collisions, with momentum broadening and spin randomization before hydrodynamics begins.

  4. Azimuthal momentum isotropization in the Quark-Gluon Plasma thermalization

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Jet quenching in out-of-equilibrium QCD matter

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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-...

  6. Relativistic Viscous Hydrodynamics in the Density Frame: Numerical Tests and Comparisons

    nucl-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In 1+1D tests, Density Frame hydrodynamics matches QCD kinetic theory within the hydrodynamic regime and remains stable where BDNK and some second-order schemes develop oscillations or fail.

  7. Collective dynamics in heavy and light-ion collisions -- I) Kinetic Theory vs. Hydrodynamics

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Event-by-event simulations show elliptic flow in heavy and light ion collisions follows a universal opacity-dependent response curve; hydrodynamics is accurate only above opacity around 3, and oxygen collisions expose...
