Turbulent pattern formation and diffusion in the early-time dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

We propose a picture of turbulent pattern formation in the relativistic heavy-ion collision, which follows an efficient process to break color strings and dispose energy in the whole phase space. We perform numerical simulations using the SU(2) pure Yang-Mills theory in a nonexpanding box to observe a dynamical phenomenon in the transverse plane akin to the domain growth in time-dependent spin systems.
