Abstract

Magnetic moment of electron at finite temperature is directly related to the modified electron mass in the background heat bath. Magnetic moment of electron gets modified at finite temperature also, when it couples with the magnetic field, through its temperature-dependent physical mass. We show that the second-order corrections to the magnetic moment of electron is a complicated function of temperature. We calculate the self-mass induced thermal contributions to the magnetic moment of electron, up to the two-loop level, for temperatures valid around the era of primordial nucleosynthesis. A comparison of thermal behavior of the magnetic moment is also quantitatively studied in detail, around the temperatures below and above the nucleosynthesis temperature.
