Abstract
We use explicit class field theory of rational function fields to prove a dynamical criterion for a polynomial of the form over a field of characteristic to have dynamical Galois group as large as possible. When and this yields an analogue in characteristic of the celebrated criterion of Stoll for quadratic polynomials over fields of characteristic not .
