摘要：

A Boltzmann equation is given for the early stages of evolution of the gluon system produced in a head-on heavy ion collision. The collision term is taken from gluon-gluon scattering in the one-gluon approximation. [p(perpendicular to)] and [p(z)(2)] are evaluated as a function of time using initial conditions taken from the McLerran-Venugopalan model. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
