Kinetic and Chemical Equilibration in Scalar phi^4 Theory
arXiv:hep-ph/0510407 · doi:10.1140/epja/i2005-10306-9
Abstract
Approximations based on the 2PI effective action are used to investigate the process of equilibration in phi^4 theory in 3+1 dimensions, both in the symmetric and broken phase. A special emphasis is put on the study of the kinetic and chemical equilibration.
