On the possibility of Bose-Einstein condensation in lower dimensions in the thermodynamic limit
Shirish M Chitanvis
Standard arguments state that Bose Einstein condensation (BEC) cannot occur in dimensions lower than three in the thermodynamic limit as the expressions for the number of bosons in…
Systematic relativistic quantum effects on screening of fusion rates in white dwarfs
Shirish M. Chitanvis
Relativistic electron degeneracy effects are dominant in ultra-dense plasmas (UDP), such as those found in white dwarfs. These effects can be treated systematically by obtaining an…
Systematic quantum effects on screening of fusion rates in white dwarfs
Shirish M. Chitanvis
Electron degeneracy effects are dominant in ultra-dense plasmas (UDP), such as those found in white dwarfs. These effects can be treated systematically by obtaining an expansion of…
Electrodynamics of a non-relativistic, non-equilibrium plasma
Shirish M. Chitanvis
A non-equilibrium plasma was studied using classical electrodynamic field theory. Non-linear interaction terms contribute to a finite lifetime for the dressed electrodynamic field.…
Systematic quantum corrections to screening in thermonuclear fusion
Shirish M. Chitanvis
We develop a series expansion of the plasma screening length away from the classical limit in powers of . It is shown that the leading order quantum correction increases…
Influence of supercoiling on the disruption of dsDNA
Shirish M. Chitanvis, Paul M. Welch
We propose that supercoiling energizes double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) so as to facilitate thermal fluctuations to an unzipped state. We support this with a model of two elastic rods c…
