$e^{+}e^{-}\to l^{+}l^{-}$ scattering at finite temperature in the presence of a classical background magnetic field

Abstract

In this work the $e^{+}e^{-}\to l^{+}l^{-}$ scattering process is investigated. The cross-section is calculated considering three different effects: temperature, external magnetic field and chemical potential. The effect due to an external field is inserted into the problem through a redefinition of the fermionic field operator. Effects due to temperature and chemical potential are introduced using the Thermo Field Dynamics formalism.
