Thermalisation of Gauge Bosons in the Abelian Higgs Model
arXiv:hep-ph/9502209 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.55.3748
Abstract
The thermalisation rate for long wavelength fluctuations of the gauge field in the abelian Higgs model is calculated from the imaginary part of the self energy. The calculation is performed for both the symmetric and symmetry broken phase of the theory.
