TLDR
A set of rate equations describing the chemical equilibration of gluons and quarks including medium effects on the relevant QCD transport coefficients are derived, and their consequences for parton equilibrations in heavy ion collisions are discussed.Abstract:
We investigate the processes leading to phase-space equilibration of parton distributions in nuclear interactions at collider energies. We derive a set of rate equations describing the chemical equilibration of gluons and quarks including medium effects on the relevant QCD transport coefficients, and discuss their consequences for parton equilibration in heavy ion collisions.read more

TL;DR: The ALICE Collaboration as mentioned in this paper is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy loss in perturbative QCD
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize advances in the understanding of both collisional and radiative energy loss, which has very interesting properties that may help to detect the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
'Bottom up' thermalization in heavy ion collisions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how thermalization occurs in heavy ion collisions in the framework of perturbative QCD when the saturation scale Qs is large compared to ΛQCD.

Scaling of transverse energies and multiplicities with atomic number and energy in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of all momentum scales can be estimated by performing the computation at one transverse momentum scale, the saturation momentum, and the initial energy density and produced gluon, quark and antiquark numbers scale with atomic number and beam energy in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.
