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 8Be 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.
