Matching the non-equilibrium initial stage of heavy ion collisions to hydrodynamics with QCD kinetic theory

High-energy nuclear collisions produce a nonequilibrium plasma of quarks and gluons which thermalizes and exhibits hydrodynamic flow. There are currently no practical frameworks to connect the early particle production in classical field simulations to the subsequent hydrodynamic evolution. We build...
