Role of Magnetic Interaction in Dense Plasma

Abstract EN

Quasiparticle excitations and associated phenomena of energy and momentum transfer rates have been calculated in terms of the drag and the diffusion coefficients exposing clearly the dominance of the magnetic interaction over its electric counterpart.

The results have been compared with the finite temperature results highlighting the similarities and dissimilarities in the two extreme regimes of temperature and density.

Non-Fermi-liquid behavior of various physical quantities like neutrino mean free path and thermal relaxation time due to the inclusion of magnetic interaction has clearly been revealed.

All the results presented in the current review are pertinent to the degenerate and ultradegenerate plasma.
