Abstract
A dynamical model has been developed to study the evolution of a quark -gluon system towards equilibrium with the gluons equilibrating prior to the quarks and the quarks executing random Brownian motion in the g luonic heat bath. We estimate the thermalization times for various qua rk flavors and heavy flavor production rates within this model.
