Let the Partons Cascade

A parton cascade model for relativistic heavy ion collision of nuclei is discussed. The nuclei are considered clouds of scattering and fragmenting partons and the energy density, transverse momentum, distribution of partons etc. are calculated using pQCD. This should, in times to come, evolve into a major tool for QGP studies.
