Photons in dense nuclear matter: Random-phase approximation
Photons in dense nuclear matter: Random-phase approximation
We present a comprehensive and pedagogic discussion of the properties of photons in cold and dense nuclear matter based on the resummed one-loop photon self-energy. Correlations among electrons, muons, protons, and neutrons in $\ensuremath{\beta}$ equilibrium that arise as a result of electromagnetic and strong interactions are consistently taken into account …
