Momentum broadening of heavy quarks and jets in the Glasma from classical colored particle simulations

We investigate the effects of the pre-equilibrium Glasma stage of heavy-ion collisions on the broadening of momentum for heavy quarks and jets using classical colored particle simulations based on Wong’s equations. Confirming previous studies, we find that these probes accumulate momentum on the order of the saturation scale $Q_s$ and that the color field of the Glasma induces an anisotropy with more broadening along the beam axis. For quark jets the anisotropy is more pronounced at lower energies.
