Triple-Gluon and Triple-Quark Elastic Scatterings and Early Thermalization

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Three-gluon to three-gluon scatterings lead to rapid thermalization of gluon matter created in central Au-Au collisions at RHIC energies. Thermalization of quark matter is studied from three-quark to three-quark scatterings.
