Kinetic and Chemical Equilibration in Scalar phi^4 Theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

Approximations based on the 2PI effective action are used to investigate the process of equilibration in phi^4 theory in 3+1 dimensions, both in the symmetric and broken phase. A special emphasis is put on the study of the kinetic and chemical equilibration.
