Title of talk:  Parton Dynamics in Phase Space

Abstract:
Within QED, several issues related to constructing a parton-model-based
QCD transport theory are examined.  The QED analog of the transport
model, the Weizsacker-Williams approximation, is rewritten in terms
of phase-quantities.  The phase-space photon and electron densities
created by a classical point charge are studied and shown to take
a distinctive source-propagator form.  The phase-space analog of
the generalized fuctuation-dissipation theorem is derived.
The theorem and the expression for the phase-space particle self-energies
give a set of coupled phase-space evolution equations that can be
used perturbatively or to derive semiclassical transport equations.
