Scaling and adiabaticity in a rapidly expanding gluon plasma

Abstract In this work we aim to gain qualitative insight on the far-from-equilibrium behavior of the gluon plasma produced in the early stages of a heavy-ion collision. It was recently discovered [1] that the distribution functions of quarks and gluons in QCD ef...
