Abstract: (Elsevier)
We describe how thermalization occurs in heavy ion collisions in the framework of perturbative QCD. When the saturation scale Q s is large compared to Λ QCD , thermalization takes place during a time of order α −13/5 Q s −1 and the maximal temperature achieved is α 2/5 Q s .- scattering: heavy ion
