TY - INPR A1 - Wang, Qun A1 - Redlich, Krzysztof A1 - Stöcker, Horst A1 - Greiner, Walter T1 - Kinetic equation for gluons at the early stage N2 - We derive the kinetic equation for pure gluon QCD plasma in a general way, applying the background field method. We show that the quantum kinetic equation contains a term as in the classical case, that describes a color charge precession of partons moving in the gauge field. We emphasize that this new term is necessary for the gauge covariance of the resulting equation.
