Triple-Gluon and Triple-Quark Elastic Scatterings and Early Thermalization
arXiv:nucl-th/0510072 · doi:10.1140/epja/i2005-10295-7
Abstract
Three-gluon to three-gluon scatterings lead to rapid thermalization of gluon matter created in central Au-Au collisions at RHIC energies. Thermalization of quark matter is studied from three-quark to three-quark scatterings.
