Degenerate electron and charged W boson gases collapse in intense magnetic fields. Electrons may experience transverse collapse, while W bosons face instability due to diverging magnetization.

Area of Science:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Quantum Field Theory
  • Plasma Physics

Background:

  • Investigating the behavior of matter under extreme physical conditions is crucial for understanding fundamental physics.
  • Degenerate quantum gases exhibit unique thermodynamic properties influenced by external fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the thermodynamic stability of degenerate electron and charged vector boson gases in intense magnetic fields.
  • To determine the conditions under which these gases may collapse.

Main Methods:

  • Thermodynamic analysis of degenerate electron and charged W boson gases.
  • Calculation of pressure and magnetization in the presence of strong magnetic fields.
  • Investigation of instabilities and collapse conditions.

Main Results:

  • Electron gas may exhibit transverse collapse due to vanishing transverse pressure in strong magnetic fields.
  • W boson gas becomes unstable as magnetization diverges at a critical magnetic field B(c).
  • Self-consistent magnetic fields are limited, and the system ultimately collapses.

Conclusions:

  • Intense magnetic fields can induce collapse in degenerate quantum gases.
  • The critical field for W boson instability is determined by their mass and charge.
  • Understanding these collapse mechanisms is vital for high-energy physics and astrophysics.
