Isotropization and hydrodynamization in weakly coupled heavy-ion collisions
read the original abstract
We numerically solve 2+1D effective kinetic theory of weak coupling QCD under longitudinal expansion relevant for early stages of heavy-ion collisions. We find agreement with viscous hydrodynamics and classical Yang-Mills simulations in the regimes where they are applicable. By choosing initial conditions that are motivated by color-glass-condensate framework we find that for Q=2GeV and $\alpha_s$=0.3 the system is approximately described by viscous hydrodynamics well before $\tau \lesssim 1.0$ fm/c.

Minijet thermalization and jet transport coefficients in QCD kinetic theory
Minijet thermalization time in a thermal gluon plasma scales with the jet quenching parameter q-hat once recoiling medium contributions are added to standard transport coefficient definitions.
