| contents | Motivated by isotropization of QCD matter in the initial stages of heavy-ion collisions, we consider a system of scalar fields that undergoes a boost invariant longitudinal expansion. We use the framework of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action, which is close to the underlying quantum field theory, and resum self-energy corrections up to three loops. The resulting 2PI equations of motion are expressed in terms of the Milne coordinates to account for longitudinal expansion. By solving numerically these equations of motion, we can extract the occupation density and the effective mass generated by in-medium interactions. At the largest values of the coupling considered in this study, we observe the onset of isotropization both in the occupation number and in the momentum dependence of the effective mass. |
