Abstract
Different treatments for the inclusion of higher-order perturbative QCD corrections in parton based transport models of relativistic heavy-ion collisions are studied and their influence on experimental observables is investigated. At RHIC, particle multiplicities may vary by more than 30%, depending on the correction scheme. A detailed analysis of the squared relative momentum transfers to be expected in parton (re)scatterings at RHIC casts doubt on the applicability of pQCD based transport approaches at the SPS and rules out the application of higher-order correction schemes based on a rescaling of the relative squared momentum transfers in the running coupling constant at all energies.
