THE HIGH TEMPERATURE DISPERSION EQUATION FOR LONGITUDINAL PLASMA OSCILLATIONS IN TAG
Abstract
The calculations in the temporal axial gauge (TAG) are revised and a new prescription is introduced to avoid the well-known TAG-singularity. With this prescription we use the TAG-formalism to calculate the one-loop dispersion equation for the longitudinal plasma oscillations in the high temperature limit and find the complete selfconsistency of TAG for pragmatic aims. Our result reproduces the earlier known dispersion equation obtained in covariant gauges and this equality explicitly demonstrates the gauge independence of the dispersion law in the high temperature limit and its reliability.
