dc.descriptionThermalization of quark-gluon plasmas in heavy-ion collisions is a difficult theoretical problem. One theoretical goal has been to understand the physics of thermalization in the relatively simplifying limit of arbitrarily high energy collisions, where the running coupling alpha_s is weak. One of the current roadblocks to achieving this goal is lack of knowledge about the behavior of plasma instabilities when particle distributions are highly anisotropic. In particular, it has not been known how the magnetic fields generated by plasma instabilities scale with anisotropy. In this paper, we use numerical simulations in a first attempt to determine this scaling.
