We study the spectral properties of a highly occupied non-Abelian nonequilibrium plasma appearing
ubiquitously in weak coupling descriptions of QCD matter. The spectral function of this far-fromequilibrium
plasma is measured by employing linear response theory in classical-statistical real-time lattice
Yang-Mills simulations. We establish the existence of transversely and longitudinally polarized quasiparticles
and obtain their dispersion relations, effective mass, plasmon frequency, damping rate and further
structures in the spectral and statistical functions. Our new method can be interpreted as a nonperturbative
generalization of hard thermal loop (HTL) effective theory. We see indications that our results approach
leading order HTL in the appropriate limit. The method can also be employed beyond the range of validity
of HTL.
