Quantum corrections and bound-state effects in the energy relaxation of hot dense hydrogen.
Simple analytic formulas for energy relaxation (ER) in electron-ion systems, with quantum corrections, ion dynamics, and RPA-type screening are presented. ER in the presence of bound electrons is examined in view of recent simulations for ER in hydrogen in the range 10{20}-10{24} electrons/cc.
