The Electrical Conductivity in the Early Universe

چکیده
We calculate the electrical conductivity in the early universe at temperatures below as well as above the electroweak vacuum scale, Tc ' 100GeV. Debye and dynamical screening of electric and magnetic interactions leads to a finite conductivity, σel ∼ T/α ln(1/α), at temperatures well below Tc. At temperatures above, W ± charge-exchange processes – analogous to color exchange through gluons in QCD – effectively stop left-handed charged leptons. However, right-handed leptons can carry current, resulting in σel/T being only a factor ∼ cos θW smaller than at temperatures below Tc.

متن کاملPolymer Physics, Electrical Conductivity of Metals and Cosmology
ABSTRACT – Flory’s model of a polymer deals with three characteristics lengths, namely: the monomer’s length, the chain’s length and the length of the radius of gyration. A first analogy can be established between this model and that of the electrical conductivity of good metals at the room temperature, by taking the Compton’s length, the electron mean free path and the Fermi’s length. A second...
