Abstract

The pre-equilibrium regime of an ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collision is studied in terms of the decay of a strong color electric field, which spans two receding nuclear disks color charged by the collision, and the subsequent thermalization of excited quanta. A model kinetic equation with a source term is solved in the relaxation time approximation to simulate the evolution of the matter appearing in the central rapidity region.
