    "abstract": "The dynamics of an idealized, infinite, MIT-type flux tube is followed in\ntime as the interior evolves from a pure gluon field to a $\\overline q \\ q$\nplasma. We work in color U(1). $\\overline q\\ q$ pair formation is evaluated\naccording to the Schwinger mechanism using the results of Brink and Pavel. The\nmotion of the quarks toward the tube endcaps is calculated by a Boltzmann\nequation including collisions. The tube undergoes damped radial oscillations\nuntil the electric field settles down to zero. The electric field stabilizes\nthe tube against pinch instabilities; when the field vanishes, the tube\ndisintegrates into mesons. There is only one free parameter in the problem,\nnamely the initial flux tube radius, to which the results are very sensitive.\nAmong various quantities calculated is the mean energy of the emitted pions.",
