Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1895–1898 (1994)Successive Equilibration in Quark-Gluon PlasmaSee Also: Erratum Received 28 March 1994; published in the issue dated 3 October 1994 A dynamical model has been developed to study the evolution of a quark-gluon system towards equilibrium with the gluons equilibrating prior to the quarks and the quarks executing random Brownian motion in the gluonic heat bath. We estimate the thermalization times for various quark flavors and heavy flavor production rates within this model. © 1994 The American Physical Society URL:
