Kinetic theory of a longitudinally expanding system

arXiv:1602.00539 · doi:10.1051/epjconf/201611204003

Abstract

We use kinetic theory in order to study the role of quantum fluctuations in the isotropization of the pressure tensor in a system subject to fast longitudinal expansion, such as the matter produced in the early stages of a heavy ion collision.
