An effective field theory approach to the stabilization of 8 Be in a QED plasma
Journal Article (Journal Article)
We use effective field theory to study the a-a resonant scattering in a finitetemperature QED plasma. The static plasma screening effect causes the resonance state Be to live longer and eventually leads to the formation of a bound state when mD ≳ 0.3 MeV. We speculate that this effect may have implications on the rates of cosmologically and astrophysically relevant nuclear reactions involving a particles. 8
