We discuss the transverse momentum broadening of hard probes traversing an evolving glasma, which is the earliest phase of the matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The coefficient $\hat q$ is calculated using the Fokker-Planck equation, and an expansion in the proper time $\tau$ which is applied to describe the temporal evolution of the glasma. The correlators of the chromodynamic fields that determine the Fokker-Planck collision term, which in turn provides $\hat q$, are computed to fifth order in $\tau$. The momentum broadening is shown to rapidly grow in time and reach a magnitude of several ${\rm GeV^2/fm}$. We show that the transient pre-equilibrium phase provides a contribution to the energy loss of hard probes which is comparable to that of the long lasting, hydrodynamically evolving, equilibrium phase.

  1. Light-front Hamiltonian jet evolution in the Glasma

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A light-front Hamiltonian method evolves a quark through Glasma fields to obtain transverse momentum broadening and jet quenching consistent with classical scaling in saturation momentum.

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Minijet thermalization time in a thermal gluon plasma scales with the jet quenching parameter q-hat once recoiling medium contributions are added to standard transport coefficient definitions.

  5. Energy loss of heavy-flavor quarks in color string medium

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Preliminary simulations show charm quarks lose significantly less transverse momentum in a fluctuating color string medium than in the hydrodynamic expansion of the EPOS4HQ model.
