The Evolution of Dynamical Screening in the Parton Cacade Model

Abstract

We determine the time evolution of the colour screening mass in high energy nuclear collisions, as provided by the parton cascade model. Using our result, we discuss the onset of deconfinement and the onset of quarkonium suppression in a general, not necessarily equilibrated environment of strongly interacting constituents.
