Quasi-Liquid Crystals of Electrons and Positrons

Abstract

A new statistical analysis of infrared synchrotron radiation (IR-SR)emitted by electrons and positrons at DAΦNE Φ-Factory (Frascati) and Bessy 2(Berlin) reveals inner degrees of freedom within bunches of relativistic particles.We thus propose a new methodological approach towards a theory that describesthe passage from a phase of maximum symmetry to a condensed phase having thequalities of a nematic mesophase of positrons and electrons.
