We compute electrical and thermal conductivities of hydrogen plasmas in the non-degenerate regime using Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (DFT) and an application of the Kubo-Greenwood response formula, and demonstrate that for thermal conductivity, the mean-field treatment of the electron-electron (e-e) interaction therein is insufficient to reproduce the weak-coupling limit obtained by plasma kinetic theories. An explicit e-e scattering correction to the DFT is posited by appealing to Matthiessens Rule and the results of our computations of conductivities with the quantum Lenard-Balescu (QLB) equation. Further motivation of our correction is provided by an argument arising from the Zubarev quantum kinetic theory approach. Significant emphasis is placed on our efforts to produce properly converged results for plasma transport using Kohn-Sham DFT, so that an accurate assessment of the importance and efficacy of our e-e scattering corrections to the thermal conductivity can be made.

The role played by the effective residual interaction in the transverse nuclear response for quasi-free electron scattering is discussed. The analysis is done by comparing different calculations performed in the Random--Phase Approximation and Ring A pproximation frameworks. The importance of the exchange terms in this energy region is investigated and the changes on the nuclear responses due to the modification of the interaction are evaluated. The calculated quasi-elastic responses show clear indication of their sensibility to the details of the interaction and this imposes the necessity of a more careful study of the role of the different channels of the interaction in this excitation region.
We consider the possibility of formation of a superconductivity state either in a semiconductor or in a electron-hole plasma with the degenerate electrons due to the attractive forces between the electrons as a result of the exchange effects through the electron-hole sound wave by analogy to the phonon waves in a solid state. We have determined the view of an interaction potential between two electrons in a degenerate electron-hole plasma. The potential appears to be attractive at distances large than the Debye radius and decreases as $1/r^3$. We discuss the conditions at which the bound electron state - Cooper Pair in a such field can be formed.

With the framework of KIDS (Korea-IBS-Daegu-SKKU) density functional model, the isoscalar and isovector effective masses of nucleon and the effect of symmetry energy in nuclear medium are investigated in inclusive (e, e) reaction in quasielastic regi on. The effective masses are varied in the range (0.7 - 1.0)M with free nucleon mass M, and the symmetry energy is varied within the uncertainty allowed by nuclear data and neutron star observation. The wave functions of nucleons inside target nucleus are generated by solving Hartree-Fock equation with adjusting equation of state, binding energy and radius of various stable nuclei, and effective mass of nucleon in the KIDS model. With the obtained wave functions, we calculate the differential cross section for the inclusive (e, e) reaction and compare the theoretical results with Bates, Saclay, and SLAC experimental data. Our model describes experimental data better at SLAC-type high incident electron energy than those measured from Bates and Saclay. The influence of the effective mass and symmetry energy appears to be precise on the longitudinal cross section.

The mechanism of two-stage electron acceleration by backward stimulated Raman scattering (BSRS) and forward stimulated Raman scattering (FSRS) is demonstrated through relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell simulation. The theoretical model is given to judge the condition of two-stage electron acceleration. The electrons trapped by BSRS inducing Langmuir wave (LW) will be trapped and accelerated by FSRS LW directly in the high electron density region. The superthermal electrons with energy larger than the energy at the phase velocity of FSRS LW will be generated by two-stage acceleration. In the condition of Te=2.5keV, only when ne>0.138n_c, can the electrons trapped by BSRS LW be accelerated by the FSRS LW directly. And the optimal parameter region is 0.108nc< ne< 0.128nc in condition of Te=2.5keV to control BSRS and superthermal electrons to a low level.
The measurement of the axially lost electron energy distribution escaping from a minimum-B electron cyclotron resonance ion source in the range of 4-800 keV is reported. The experiments have revealed the existence of a hump at 150-300 keV energy, con taining up to 15% of the lost electrons and carrying up to 30% of the measured energy losses. The mean energy of the hump is independent of the microwave power, frequency and neutral gas pressure but increases with the magnetic field strength, most importantly with the value of the minimum-B field. Experiments in pulsed operation mode have indicated the presence of the hump only when microwave power is applied, confirming that the origin of the hump is rf-induced momentum space diffusion. Possible mechanism of the hump formation is considered basing on the quasi-linear model of plasma-wave interaction.
