Determining free Fermi/Bose gas chemical potentials, given temperature, number density, and baryon density
I'm attempting to recreate some plots of individual particle chemical potentials from S. Reddy et. al.'s paper on neutrino interactions in hot and dense matter (of the same title). The specifics aren'...

Fermi-Dirac vs. Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in the early universe plasma
From my studies, I remember that the quantum effects relative to the bosonic or fermonic nature of the particles play a role only in the conditions of degenerate gas: when the plasma is very dense and ...
