Thermalization of quark-gluon matter by 2-to-2 and 3-to-3 elastic scatterings

Published 2007-02-11Version 1

Thermalization of quark-gluon matter is studied with a transport equation that includes contributions of 2-to-2 and 3-to-3 elastic scatterings. Thermalization time is related to the squared amplitudes for the elastic scatterings that are calculated in perturbative QCD.
