Parity-Violating in e − e + Scattering at Finite Temperature

International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Parity violation implies that physics laws are not invariant under spatial coordinate reversal. Electron-positron scattering is a process that displays parity violation. Using the Thermo Field Dynamics formalism this scattering at finite temperature is analyzed. The transition amplitude is calculated as a function of temperature. The parity violation at very high temperatures tend to go to zero.
