FERMION DAMPING RATE EFFECTS IN COLD DENSE MATTER ab
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the non-Fermi or marginal liquid behavior of a relativistic QED plasma. In this medium a quasiparticle has a damping rate that depends linearly on the distance between its energy and the Fermi surface. We stress that this dependence is due to the long-range character of the magnetic interactions in the medium. Finally, we study how the quark damping rate modifies the gap equation of color superconductivity, reducing the value of the gap at the Fermi surface.

Multi fluidity and Solitary wave stability in cold quark matter: core of dense astrophysical objects
Considering the magneto-hydrodynamic equations in a non-relativistic multi uid framework, we study the behavior of small amplitude perturbations in cold quark matter. Magneto-hydrodynamic equations, along with a suitable equation of state for the cold quark matter, are expanded using the reductive perturbation method. It is shown that in small amplitude approximation, such a medium should be co...
متن کاملFermion Damping in a Fermion - Scalar Plasma
In this article we study the dynamics of fermions in a fermion-scalar plasma. We begin by obtaining the effective in-medium Dirac equation in real time which is fully renormalized and causal and leads to the initial value problem. For a heavy scalar we find the novel result that the decay of the scalar into fermion pairs in the medium leads to damping of the fermionic excitations and their in-m...
متن کاملConstraints on Dark Matter interactions from structure formation: Damping lengths
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles are often said to be the best Dark Matter candidates. Studies have shown that large Dark Matter-photon or Dark Matter-baryon interactions could be allowed by cosmology. Here we address the question of the role of the Dark Matter interactions in more detail to determine at which extent Dark Matter has to be necessarily weakly interacting. To this purpose, we ...
متن کاملPossible Orientation Effects to the Phase Diagram of Fundamental Composite Particles
We obtain possibly valuable information about the phase diagram of rather dense composite particles at high fermion as well as boson number density but low temperature, which is not accessible to relativistic heavy ion collision experiments. Our calculations could qualitatively measure the number of thermodynamic degrees of freedom at the time at which the matter (produced in heavy ion collisio...
متن کاملMass-Shell Behavior of Electron Propagator at Low Temperature
In high temperature gauge theories the fermion propagator is quite di erent than at zero temperature [1] and calculations require the Braaten-Pisarski resummation of hard thermal loops [2{4]. One of the important quantities to be calculated is the imaginary part of the fermion selfenergy, or damping rate, which has been computed in various circumstances. In QCD the massless gluons are so change...
