Degenerate-plasma zero-point sound
ID: degenerate-plasma-zero-point-sound
The short-wavelength root of the degenerate-plasma dielectric response, approaching the edge of the occupied parallel velocity interval from outside. Writing makes its logarithmic singularity give the exponentially small positive correction in the title. It is the high-wavenumber limit of the charged Langmuir wave branch in this approximation; neutral zero sound has a different interaction and long-wavelength limit.
