Abstract: We consider a model of thermalisation of pions due to elastic scattering and define the region of applicability of this model. In this region the chemical potential is positive. We analyse the absorptive and dispersive properties of pions during thermalisation by calculating trh pion collective potential. The pion gas can be thermally equilibrated bit it will be out of equilibrium. We define the degree of thermalisation near freezeout at the level aprox 70% for S+S and approx 90% for O+Au collisions at CERN.
