Thermal effects on the photon mass

Abstract

It is shown that processes of $O(\ensuremath{\alpha}{G}_{F})$ in which the photon interacts indirectly with the thermal neutrino background dominate electric screening at low temperature. The photon electric mass still comes out to be much smaller than the present experimental limit.
