In this review, I present the description of the early stages of heavy ion collisions at high energy in the Color Glass Condensate framework, from the pre-collision high energy nuclear wavefunction to the point where hydrodynamics may start becoming applicable.

  1. Yoctosecond imaging of the ground state of $^{129}$Xe at the Large Hadron Collider

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Bayesian global fit to Xe-Xe and Pb-Pb LHC data infers nearly maximal triaxiality for the 129Xe ground state and extracts two- and three-particle correlations.

  2. Magnetized bottom-up thermalization in heavy-ion collisions

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Strong magnetic fields may accelerate early quark production via gluon decay in the bottom-up scenario when |eB| approaches Q_s^2, modifying pre-equilibrium chemical composition.
