Abstract

A system of statistical equations has been derived to analyze the behavior of nonequilibrium collisionless quark-gluon plasmas in strong gravitational fields at superhigh temperatures (T < T KP =1/8·(m t c 2/k) = 2.5·1014 K with mt being the mass of t-quark) and densities (∼1024 g/cm3). It has been shown that in a system where perturbations appear which are accompanied by an increase in the temperature over Tcr, an explosion occurs. This explosion is characterized by an anomalous prevalence of high particle velocities and leads to the formation of flows of high-energy hadrons.
