Description

The Boltzmann-Vlasov equations for a boost-invariant quark-gluon plasma are solved in the abelian-dominance approximation. The results describe the formation of quark-gluon plasma in high-energy collisions of heavy ions. It is found that, for realistic chromoelectric fields, high densities of energy of quarks and gluons are reached at the formation time of a fraction of a Fermi. The system oscillates around the Bjorken solution as found in earlier studies. (orig.)
