arXiv:hep-ph/0009237 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(01)00191-5

Abstract

We describe how thermalization occurs in heavy ion collisions in the framework of perturbative QCD. When the saturation scale is large compared to , thermalization takes place during a time of order and the maximal temperature achieved is .
