Background: Experimental setups commonly used to study fission properties of nuclei in the exotic neutron-deficient Hg180 region are based on the time-of-flight technique for the fission-product identification. In best cases, the obtained fragments mass (FFMD) and total kinetic energy (TKE) resoluti…

We compute the transport coefficient q̂ which quantifies the transverse momentum broadening of hard probes passing through the evolving glasma from the earliest stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We use a proper-time expansion method which is designed to study the glasma at very early times…
