Development of a parton cascade for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions — •Zhe Xu and Carsten Greiner — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Gießen, Germany

We present a Monte Carlo program solving the Boltzmann equation for partons in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The initial parton momentum distribution is computed in perturbative QCD via the multiple production of minijets. At present, the treatment includes only elastic scatterings among the partons. We also discuss the initial spatial distribution of parton production and its consequence on parton thermalization in heavy ion collisions.
