Dynamical Screening of $\alpha$-$\alpha$ Resonant Scattering and Thermal Nuclear Scattering Rate in a Plasma

Xiaojun Yao, Thomas Mehen, Berndt Müller

We use effective field theory and thermal field theory to study the dynamical screening effect in the QED plasma on the $\alpha$-$\alpha$ scattering at the ${}^8$Be resonance. Dynamical screen…
