Novel approach for old results on plasma physics: what new do we learn about?

Plasma Physics 2009-06-10 v1

Abstract

The present paper proposes a simple model aimed to point out the link between basilar concepts of plasma physics and fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. The model shows in particular that Debye lengths and plasma frequency are actually straightforward consequences of the indistinguishability of identical particles and the exclusion and uncertainty principles.
