Chemical Equilibration and Thermalization of Quark-Gluon Plasma in a Parton Cascade Model with 2-to-3 Quark Interactions

Cendikia Abdi, Chiho Nonaka

We investigate the thermalization, chemical equilibration, and hydrodynamization behavior of the far-from-equilibrium, gluon-dominated quark gluon plasma (QGP) produced in Au+Au co…
