Scientific paper

We consider optically thick photon-pair-proton plasma in the framework of Boltzmann equations. For the sake of simplicity we consider the uniform and isotropic plasma. It has been shown that arbitrary initial distribution functions evolve to the thermal equilibrium state through so called kinetic equilibrium state with common temperature of all particles and nonzero chemical potentials. For the plasma temperature 0.1-10 MeV relevant for GRB (Gamma-Ray Burst) sources we evaluate the thermalization time scale as function of total energy density and baryonic loading parameter.
