Fully QED/relativistic theory of light pressure on free electrons by isotropic radiation
نویسنده
چکیده
A relativistic/QED theory of light pressure on electrons by an isotropic, in particular blackbody radiation predicts thermalization rates of free electrons over entire span of energies available in the lab and the nature. The calculations based on the QED Klein-Nishina theory of electron-photon scattering and relativistic Fokker-Planck equation, show that the transition from classical (Thompson) to QED (Compton) thermalization determined by the product of electron energy and radiation temperature, is reachable under conditions for controlled nuclear fusion, and predicts large acceleration of electron thermalization in the Compton domain.

متن کاملMourre Estimate and Spectral Theory for the Standard Model of Non-Relativistic QED
For a model of atoms and molecules made from static nuclei and non-relativistic electrons coupled to the quantized radiation field (the standard model of non-relativistic QED), we prove a Mourre estimate and a limiting absorption principle in a neighborhood of the ground state energy. As corollaries we derive local decay estimates for the photon dynamics, and we prove absence of (excited) eigen...

متن کاملSelf-energy of Electrons in Non-perturbative Qed∗†
Various models of charged particles interacting with a quantized, ultraviolet cutoff radiation field (but not with each other) are investigated. Upper and lower bounds are found for the selfor ground state-energies without mass renormalization. For N fermions the bounds are proportional to N , but for bosons they are sublinear, which implies ‘binding’, and hence that ‘free’ bosons are never fre...
