English abstract:
Non-Abelian plasma instabilities play a crucial role in the non-equilibrium
dynamics of a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma. At very early times in
the evolution of the heavy ion collisions one assumes an anisotropic momentum
distribution. The generalization of stationary anisotropic plasmas using
the so-called hard-loop approximation to the hard-expanding-loop (HEL)
formalism allows the (numerical) calculation of the full 3-dimensional
(configuration space) time evolution of gluonic mean fields in a
longitudinally expanding plasma. First results from simulations on the Vienna
Scientific Cluster with strong initial fields and thus physical masses
will be shown.
