Abstract

For an SU(2) gauge theory, the dimensionless function fp(g²μL) was considered. Observations were made for the initial multiplicity of gluons produced at central rapidities. The initial multiplicity and momentum distribution of gluons determined the equilibrium time, the temperature, and the chemical potential of the QGP.
