Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt Institut für Theoretische Physik Parton Thermalization and Energy Loss in ultrarelativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions within a Parton Cascade Zhe Xu in collaboration with A. El, O.Fochler and C.Greiner QM2006, Shang Hai
Motivation • fast thermalization • on-shell parton cascade Z. Xu and C. Greiner, PRC 71, 064901 (2005) • with only pQCD gg<->gg : no thermalization except with large s (AMPT,MPC) • including pQCD gg<->ggg: thermalization, hydro. behaviour and Jet-Quenching
What is the correct quantity describing kinetic equilibration? • NOT the mean free path or collision rate ns • maybe nst with the transport cross section gg -> gg gg -> ggg B.Müller‘s question in Quark Matter 2005 One has to do detailed studies.
momentum isotropization and kinetic equilibration Initial condition: Minijets p0=1.4 GeV
Transport Rates Definition: Boltzmann equation
special case for isotropic distribution of collision angle

Initial condition with Color Glass Condensate h: [-0.05:0.05] and xt < 1.5 fm
Evolution of Particle Number in bottom-up scenario Andrej El • Particle number decreases rapidly in the very first moment • No net soft gluon production at early times!
Jet-Quenching in a central Au Au collision at RHIC Oliver Fochler 3~4 too much
elliptic flow in noncentral Au+Au collisions at RHIC: peripheral central
Summary • PQCD Bremsstrahlung gg↔ggg are essential for the thermalization. • The transport rates are quantities determining the contribution of different processes to kinetic equilibration. • no bottom –up • large v2, but small RAA
Simulation 1 Simulation 2 thermalization and hydrodynamical behavior NO thermalizationand free streaming Question: Why are gg<->ggg interactions essential for thermalization?

Initial conditions: minijets production with pt > p0 binary approximation for a central Au+Au collision at RHIC at 200 AGeV using p0=2 GeV
Kinetic and chemical equilibration in the central region: h: [-0.5:0.5] and xt < 1.5 fm 1~2 fm/c for the kinetic equilibration ~ 4 fm/c for the chemical equilibration
