We show that the Linear Sigma Model with quarks produces an effective description of the QCD phase diagram and of the system's equilibrium distribution properties that deviate from those of the Hadron Resonance Gas Model. The deviation is…

Plasmas in which there is a threshold for a dominant reaction to take place (such as recombination or attachment) will have particle distributions that evolve as the reaction progresses. The form of the Boltzmann collision term in such a…
The collision theory for power-law distributions and a generalized collision theory rate coefficient is studied when the reactions take place in nonequilibrium systems with power-law distributions. We obtain the power-law rate coefficient…
We show by explicit calculations that non-classical states of the radiation field can be produced by allowing short term interaction between a coherent state of the radiation field with plasma. Whereas, long term interaction, which…

The generally accepted representation of $\kappa$-distributions in space plasma physics allows for two different alternatives, namely assuming either the temperature or the thermal velocity to be $\kappa$-independent. The present paper aims…
In Starrett and Saumon [Phys. Rev. E 87, 013104 (2013)] a model for the calculation of electronic and ionic structures of warm and hot dense matter was described and validated. In that model the electronic structure of one "atom" in a…
The consistency condition is tested within the particle-particle random-phase approximation (RPA), renormalized RPA (RRPA) and the self-consistent RPA (SCRPA) making use of the Richardson model of pairing. The two-particle separation energy…
