    "abstract": "We study the equilibration of a parton plasma in terms of its parton\ncompositions and its state of thermalization. In studying the evolution of the\nplasma, one has to assume a small value of the strong coupling constant. This\nvalue is by no means fixed. By varying this only parameter in our calculation,\nwe show the dependence of equilibration on its magnitude. It is shown that both\nkinetic and parton equilibration are faster with increasing coupling but the\nplasma cools much more rapidly resulting in shortened lifetime. The degree of\nequilibration improves significantly for quarks and antiquarks but not so for\ngluons and the total generated entropy is reduced. With a coupling depending on\nthe average parton energy, there is additional acceleration in the\nequilibration during the evolution.",
