Perturbative analysis of parton kinetics for high energy nuclear collisions shows, that thermal equilibration of gluons happens very fast, while quark production is much slower. A simple 'minimal model' is proposed which includes only…

We find that in an opaque quark-gluon plasma, significant particle production at high transverse momenta can occur via acceleration of (initially) lower-momentum partons. This new mechanism, which is the opposite of parton energy loss (jet…
