Description
One of the outstanding problems in heavy-ion collisions is the understanding of the fast thermalization of the plasma. In this talk I would like to describe recent work on the characteristics of strongly coupled plasma thermalization using numerical solution of Einstein's equations within the AdS/CFT correspondence. We uncover unexpected regularities in the nonequilibrium behaviour of the plasma system.
