Abstract

We study the production and the equilibration of a non-Abelian $q\bar{q}$ plasma in an external chromoelectric field, by solving the Boltzmann equation with the non-Abelian features explicitly incorporated. We consider the gauge group $SU(2)$ and show that the colour degree of freedom has a major and dominant role in the dynamics of the system. It is seen that the assumption of the so called Abelian dominance is not justified. Finally, it is also shown that many of the features of microscopic studies of the system appear naturally in our studies as well.
