Effects of the CPT-even and Lorentz violation on the Bhabha scattering at finite temperature

In this paper a Lorentz-violating CPT-even non-minimal coupling term is considered. A new interaction term between fermions and photons emerges. In this context, the differential cross-section for Bhabha scattering at finite temperature is calculated. The temperature effects are introduced using the Thermo-Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism. It is shown that the differential cross-section is changed due to both effects, Lorentz violation and finite temperature. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

This paper considers a Lorentz-violating CPT-even non-minimal coupling term, leading to a new interaction term between fermions and photons. The differential cross-section for Bhabha scattering at finite temperature is calculated, with temperature effects introduced using Thermo-Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism. It is shown that the differential cross-section is altered by both Lorentz violation and finite temperature.
