Particles and holes

Abstract: A neutral plasma at very high temperature(T ⪢ m) is shown to have a partially full Fermi sea. The removal of a fermion from this sea leaves a fermionic hole excitation whose additive quantum numbers are the negatives of the missing fermion. Particles and holes with the same chirality are shown to have the opposite helicity. The dispersion relation for both particles and holes is calculated to one-loop order and possible phenomenonnlogical consequences are discussed.
