| Summary:

We use classical equations of motion for heavy quarks to show that the
pre-equilibrium glasma phase of a heavy ion collision has an extremely strong
effect on heavy quark angular correlations. At the same time, the effect on the
single inclusive spectrum is much more moderate. This suggests that
$Doverline{D}$ meson angular correlations in future LHC measurements could
provide direct experimental access to the physics of the pre-equilibrium stage.
