Ultrarelativistic electron-positron plasma

Abstract: Abstract. Ultrarelativistic electron-positron plasmas can be produced in high-intensity laser fields and play a role in various astrophysical situations. Their properties can be calculated using QED at finite temperature. Here we will use perturbative QED at finite temperature for calculating various important properties, such as the equation of state, dispersion relations of collective plasma modes of photons and electrons, Debye screening, damping rates, mean free paths, collision times, transport coefficien… Show more

“…On the other hand we now focus not 10 keV photons but 10 MeV photons with a 10 3 -fold reduction in wavelength, thus increasing the density by up to 10 9 and the critical temperature by 10 6 . The hot e + e − γ plasma is of interest by itself [36] and the production of hadrons by the interaction of photon pairs or electron positron pairs can be studied [37]. Here new collective modes of ultrarelativistic e + e − plasmas like the fermionic plasmino mode have been predicted [36].…”

“…Experimentally, the possibility of creating ultra-relativistic plasmas by using intense laser fields (I > 10 18 W=cm 2 ) has been discussed. 5,6 The ultra-relativistic un-magnetized electron plasma or pair plasma modes in different regimes have been discussed by a number of authors. 5,[7][8][9] It has been investigated that the high energy electron-radiation belts spiralling in Jupiter's magnetic field have ultra-relativistic energies up to 20-50 MeV.…”

These energetic electrons may repeatedly be accelerated through an interaction with plasma waves which can transfer energy to the electrons.…”
