Abstract

The concept of quasiparticle does appear in a large number of non relativistic physical situations where it brings both substantial technical simplifications and also far reaching clarifications of the problems under consideration. Quasiparticles are widely used in the framework of solid state physics1 and, consequently, have been studied in details. Another case where quasiparticles, namely plasmons, have systematically been considered is plasma physics.2
