Abstract

We report on a new equilibration scenario in relativistic heavy ion collisions, the scenario of the Increasingly Strongly Interacting Parton Plasma, and the effects of this scenario on equilibration and open charm, photon and dilepton production. The parton plasma is shown to be a very special kind of many-body system, which contains new physics concerning the approach towards equilibrium. This is likely to be unique to the parton plasma.
