A quantum field theoretical approach to plasmas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
By making use of the Feynman–Schwinger formalism of quantum electrodynamics, the classical dispersion relation for electrostatic and electromagnetic waves in a homogeneous plasma is derived. It is then argued that such techniques can be helpful in dealing with quasi-linear and nonlinear problems in plasmas.
