Effective field theory as a limit of R-matrix theory for light nuclear reactions
Gerald M. Hale, Lowell S. Brown, Mark W. Paris
We study the zero channel radius limit of Wigner's R-matrix theory for two cases, and show that it corresponds to non-relativistic effective quantum field theory. We begin with the…
Field Theory of the d+t -> n+alpha Reaction Dominated by a 5He* Unstable Particle
Lowell S. Brown, Gerald M. Hale
An effective, non-relativistic field theory for low-energy d+t -> n+alpha reaction is presented. The theory assumes that the reaction is dominated by an intermediate 5He* unstable…
Leading Relativistic Corrections to the Kompaneets Equation
Lowell S. Brown, Dean L. Preston
We calculate the first relativistic corrections to the Kompaneets equation for the evolution of the photon frequency distribution brought about by Compton scattering. The Lorentz i…
Charged Particle Motion in a Plasma: Electron-Ion Energy Partition
Lowell S. Brown, Dean L. Preston, Robert L. Singleton
A charged particle traversing a plasma loses its energy to both plasma electrons and ions. We compute the energy partition, the fractions and $E_\smI/E_0$ of the initial…
Temperature equilibration in a fully ionized plasma: electron-ion mass ratio effects
Lowell S. Brown, Robert L. Singleton
Brown, Preston, and Singleton (BPS) produced an analytic calculation for energy exchange processes for a weakly to moderately coupled plasma: the electron-ion temperature equilibra…
The energy partitioning of non-thermal particles in a plasma: or the Coulomb logarithm revisited
Robert L. Singleton, Lowell S. Brown
The charged particle stopping power in a highly ionized and weakly to moderately coupled plasma has been calculated to leading and next-to-leading order by Brown, Preston, and Sing…
