Exploring the initial conditions of HIC beyond the boost invariant approximation — •Pragya Singh and Sören Schlichting — University Of Bielefeld, Bielefeld, Germany

The pre equilibrium stage of Heavy-Ion collision is well described by the Color Glass Condensate (CGC), an effective theory of high energy QCD, which claims the existence of the Glasma. Within the CGC framework, a plethora of solutions for understanding the Glasma, are based on shock wave limit, where the Lorentz contracted, longitudinal extent of the fast-moving nuclei are considered to be infinitesimally thin. In order to understand the structure and the dynamics of the longitudinal direction of the fireball and to get the nontrivial rapidity dependent observables, one has to go beyond the boost invariant approximation. This talk mainly focusses on how the assumption of infinitesimally thin shock waves can be relaxed by solving the discretized 3+1 Dimensional Yang-Mills equation in classical statistical real-time lattice simulations.
