In this work we study the Higgs mechanism and the Debye shielding for the Bopp–Podolsky theory of electrodynamics. We find that not only the massless sector of the Podolsky theory acquires a mass in both these phenomena, but also that its massive sector has its mass changed. Besides exploring the behavior of the screened potentials, we find a peculiar temperature [Formula: see text] associated with the Podolsky length.

广义量子电动力学中的德拜筛选

在这项工作中，我们研究了 Bopp-Podolsky 电动力学理论的希格斯机制和德拜屏蔽。我们发现，不仅波多尔斯基理论的无质量扇区在这两种现象中都获得了质量，而且其质量扇区的质量也发生了变化。除了探索屏蔽电位的行为外，我们还发现了一个与 Podolsky 长度相关的特殊温度 [公式：见正文]。
