Abstract

Flavour equilibration for a thermally equilibrated but chemically non-equilibrated quark-gluon plasma is presented. Flavour equilibration is studied enforcing baryon number conservation. In addition to the usual processes like single additional gluon production gg ⇌ ggg and its reverse and quark-antiquark pair production by gluon pair fusion gg ⇌ q i q ı and reverse thereof, processes like quark-flavour interchanging q i q ı ⇌ q j \( q_{\bar j} \) is also considered. The degree of equilibration is studied comparatively for various reactions/constraints that are being considered.
