Collisional stopping power of ions in warm dense matter

Lucas Babati, Shane Rightley, Nathaniel Shaffer +1

A model for the collisional stopping of ions on free electrons in warm dense matter is developed and explored. It is based on plasma kinetic theory, but with modifications to addre…

A Kinetic Model for Electron-Ion Transport in Warm Dense Matter

Shane Rightley, S. D. Baalrud

We present a model for electron-ion transport in Warm Dense Matter that incorporates Coulomb coupling effects into the quantum Boltzmann equation of Uehling and Uhlenbeck through t…

Quantum Mean-Force Kinetic Theory: General Formulation and Application to Electron-Ion Transport in Warm Dense Matter

Shane Rightley, Scott D. Baalrud

We present an approach to extend plasma transport theory into the Warm Dense Matter (WDM) regime characterized by moderate Coulomb coupling and electron degeneracy. It is based on…

Analytical Properties of Linear Electrostatic Waves in Two-Component Quantum and Classical Plasmas

Shane Rightley, Dmitri Uzdensky

We examine the properties of linear electrostatic waves in unmagnetized quantum and classical plasmas consisting of one or two populations of electrons with analytically tractable…

Landau Damping of Electrostatic Waves in Arbitrarily Degenerate Quantum Plasmas

Shane Rightley, Dmitri Uzdensky

We carry out a systematic study of the dispersion relation for linear electrostatic waves in an arbitrarily degenerate quantum electron plasma. We solve for the complex frequency s…

Plasma Physics of Extreme Astrophysical Environments

Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Shane Rightley

Certain classes of astrophysical objects, namely magnetars and central engines of supernovae and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), are characterized by extreme physical conditions not encou…
