Abstract
We study the kinetic and chemical equilibration in “infinite” parton matter within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics transport approach. The “infinite” matter is simulated within a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions initialized at different energy densities. Particle abundances, kinetic energy distributions, and the detailed balance of the off-shell quarks and gluons in the strongly-interacting quarkgluon plasma are addressed and discussed.
