Self-consistent quasiparticle model results for ultrarelativistic electron-positron thermodynamic plasma.
Relativistic plasma with two charge species and radiation at thermodynamic equilibrium is a general system of interest in astrophysics and high-energy physics. We develop a self-consistent quasiparticle model for such a system to take account of the collective behavior of plasma, and thermodynamic properties are derived. It is applied to the ultrarelativistic electron-positron plasma and compared with previous results.
