Standard Model at Finite Temperatures



Hi,

Does anyone know of any quantitative explorations of the Standard Model
at finite temperatures? I am looking for literature regarding the
thermal distributions of W+, W-, Z and photons (the force carriers of
the Electroweak group).

The reason I ask is because I am toying with the idea of studying the
motley soup of electrons, neutrinos, W+, W-, Z and photons at finite
(low) temperatures by treating each gas independently and connecting
their statistics through constraint equations (like charge conservation
etc) that seem reasonable from a chart of all possible interaction
vertices in the theory.

If we can do that for low temperatures in the electroweak theory, we
can do it for high temperatures in the theory of strong interactions.

Thanks,
Souvik
