Degenerate-plasma dielectric response

ID: degenerate-plasma-dielectric-response

For an isotropic completely degenerate nonrelativistic Fermi gas in classical-trajectory collisionless kinetic theory, the parallel marginal distribution is . Integrating yields the electron dielectric function in the title for fixed ions. Its real roots outside the occupied interval have no Landau damping. Quantum recoil, collisions and finite-temperature tails require an enlarged model.
