Study of Chemical Equilibration of a Baryon Rich QGP

Abstract

Parton equilibration studies for thermally equilibrated but chemically non-equilibrated quark-gluon-plasma (QGP), likely to be formed at the relativistic colliders at BNL and CERN is presented.Parton equilibration is studied enforcing baryon number conservation. Process like quark-flavor interchanging is also taken into consideration.The degree of equilibration is studied comparatively for the various reactions/ constraints that are being considered.

Comments: Based on Poster presented at 'Quark Matter - 2008', Jaipur, INDIA. Major misprints and errors were corrected in v2. Another serious misprint corrected in v3
