Description
We discuss recent developments in the semiholographic model for heavy ion collisions (HICs) proposed by Iancu and Mukhopadhyay and further developed by Mukhopadhyay, FP, Rebhan, and Stricker. In this approach a GLASMA description of the early stages of HICs, i.e. a classical Yang-Mills field theory is coupled to a holographic model which plays the role of a bath of strongly coupled gluons. We will show the first results of such a setup in the fully dynamical non-equilibrium regime in particular how the classical Yang-Mills sector looses energy to the strongly coupled sector. Finally we discuss in more generality, how to consistently couple holographic descriptions of non-perturbative physics to classical and perturbative quantum field theories.
