Additional information:
The (3+1)D dilute Glasma is a novel framework for the computation of rapidity-dependent early-time observables in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. First, I discuss the QCD phase diagram and the extremely successful class of experiments called heavy-ion collisions performed at RHIC and LHC. I then show how the Glasma, the first stage after a collision of relativistic nuclei, emerges in the Color Glass Condensate effective theory for high energy QCD. The dynamics of the Glasma are governed by the classical Yang-Mills equations, which I will solve for longitudinally extended sources, employing the dilute approximation. I obtain an analytic expression for the energy-momentum tensor of the Glasma as a function of rapidity. This opens up new insights into the longitudinal dynamics of the Glasma, which have previously been notoriously hard to simulate. Finally, I will show some numerical results for early-time observables in relativistic heavy-ion collisions obtained in the dilute Glasma framework.
