Abstract
We have computed finite temperature corrections to the electron-hadron scattering cross sections. These are based upon the renormalized electron mass and the modified density of states due to the presence of a background thermal bath. It is found that the electron-hadron thermal transport scattering cross section can be much larger than the zero temperature one. In the case of electron-neutron transport scattering, we find σne(T)/σne(T=0)≃5 at T≃0.1 MeV.
