Effective Compton Cross Section in Non-Degenerate High Temperature Media
The effective compton cross section in a non-degenerate
plasma() is investigated in a
wide range of temperatures. The results show a decreasing behavior with
temperature especially for . The $may be important in
phenomena like accretion discs or ultra-relativistic blast waves in GRB models,
where the emitted radiation has to pass through a medium containing high energy
electrons.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure
