Description
We explore how quarks are produced in QCD starting from initial conditions relevant for the early pre-equilibrium phases of heavy-ion collisions. The purpose of our investigation is to determine the overall scale of quark production and to get an insight into spectral properties of non-equilibrium quark distributions. Furthermore, we compare different initial scenarios concerning their influence on the quark sector. Varying the number of light quark flavours we determine the impact of fermionic fluctuations on gluon dynamics in the strongly coupled regime, allowing an insight into parameter region otherwise inaccessible with classical-statistical lattice simulations.
