Hydrogen Plasma At Tc

From the post "High Temperature Requires Thick Skin, Very Thick Skin",

T2c=(me+mp)2mempq2εoτo

If we were to use

τo = 6.486e13

For one hydrogen atom,

Tc = (( 9.10938e-31+1.67262e-27)^2/( 9.10938e-31*1.67262e-27)*(1.602176565e-19)^2/8.8541878176e-12*6.486e13)^(1/2)=1.859e-5 J.

Tc 1.160e14 eV

This is the temperature that hydrogen form plasma readily, where  re=0  is a valid solution to the quadratic equation for  re.  This value is still high.

No comments,  τo  is still the new kid in town.
