Description
Pre-equilibrium evolution of heavy-ion collision is an open problem. Now most hydrodynamic simulations for heavy-ion assume the system thermalizes immediately after the collision. In our study, we explore the free-streaming limit and assume the system thermalizes at the end of free-streaming. At the end of free-streaming, by solving collisionless Boltzmann equation, we find the gluon distribution function and thus calculate energy momentum tensor. Then we demand the system to be thermalized at this “thermalization time" and do Landau matching to get a consistent set of initial conditions. We use initial conditions corresponding to different thermalization times to run VISHNew2+1 hydrodynamic code. Finally we construct the anisotropies from azimuthal transverse energy distribution to qualify how the anisotropy flows change with different thermalization times.
