Broken boost invariance in the Glasma via finite nuclei thickness
We simulate the creation and evolution of non-boost-invariant Glasma in the early stages of heavy ion collisions within the color glass condensate framework. This is accomplished by extending the McLerran–Venugopalan model to include a parameter for the Lorentz-contracted but finite width of the nuc...
