Abstract
We report on a new equilibration scenario in relativistic heavy loll c ollisions, the scenario of the Increasingly Strongly Interacting Parto n Plasma, and the effects of this scenario on equilibration and open c harm, photon and dilepton production. The parton plasma is shown to be a very special kind of many-body system, which contains new physics c oncerning the approach towards equilibrium. This is likely to be uniqu e to the parton plasma.
