Covariant Cherenkov Radiation and its Friction Force
Will Price, Martin S. Formanek, Johann Rafelski
We derive the covariant generalization of the Frank-Tamm formula describing the Cherenkov radiation by a charged particle moving uniformly with a speed faster than the local speed…

Self-consistent strong screening applied to thermonuclear reactions
Christopher Grayson, Cheng Tao Yang, Martin Formanek +1
Self-consistent strong plasma screening around light nuclei is implemented in the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) epoch to determine the short-range screening potential, $eÏ(r)/T \…

Fermi-Dirac Integrals in Degenerate Regimes: A Novel Asymptotic Expansion
Jeremiah Birrell, Martin Formanek, Andrew Steinmetz +2
We characterize in a novel manner the physical properties of the low temperature Fermi gas in the degenerate domain as a function of temperature and chemical potential. For the fir…
