Interaction between matter and radiation at very high temperatures: I. Compton scattering

Abstract: The interaction between the two components of a relativistic binary gas is investigated. Starting from the relativistic Boltzmann equation, general expressions for the rate of energy exchange, the relaxation time, and the coefficient of bulk viscosity are obtained. As a particular example, the formalism is applied to the study of a gas at very high temperatures, T<∼6×109 °K, assuming that the energy exchange between matter and radiation is caused by Compton scattering; relativistic effects are fully tak… Show more

“…The functions D 1 and D 3 are symmetric with respect to permutations of any variables and D 2 is symmetric under permutations 1 ↔ 2 and 3 ↔ 4. In what follows we present the expression for D 2 (3,4). Without loss of generality we can assume that q 1 > q 2 and q 3 > q 4 .…”

“…The overall neutrino heating under assumption of equilibrium spectra has been considered earlier in refs. [2,3,4]. In this approximation the problem is very much simplified but the method itself is far from being precise from the very beginning.…”

“…Our simple model is based on a one-component fluid. In [14], relaxation time processes are incorporated in a two-fluid model. In this setting, electrons and positrons on the one side and neutrinos and antineutrinos on the other side, are found to be in two different equilibrium states with slightly different temperatures.…”
