PREEQUILIBRIUM EVOLUTION OF A NON-ABELIAN PLASMA

We study the production and the equilibration of a non-Abelian q (q) o ver bar plasma in an external chromoelectric field by solving the Bolt zmann equation with the non-Abelian features explicitly incorporated. We consider the gauge group SU(2) and show that the color degree of fr eedom has a major and dominant role in the dynamics of the system. It is seen that the assumption of the so-called Abelian dominance is not justified. Finally, it is also shown that many of the features of micr oscopic studies of the system appear naturally in our studies as well.
