Box and expanding simulations with SMASH extended to 2-to-3 quark processes show energy spectrum thermalizes by ~0.2 fm/c, momentum isotropizes by ~2 fm/c, but chemical equilibration remains incomplete by 5 fm/c and hydrodynamics breaks down after ~4 fm/c.

Chemical Equilibration and Thermalization of Quark-Gluon Plasma in a Parton Cascade Model with 2-to-3 Quark Interactions
Box and expanding simulations with SMASH extended to 2-to-3 quark processes show energy spectrum thermalizes by ~0.2 fm/c, momentum isotropizes by ~2 fm/c, but chemical equilibration remains incomplete by 5 fm/c and hydrodynamics breaks down after ~4 fm/c.
