Abstract
The radial distribution function for a plasma is calculated for small interparticle separations. Quantum effects are taken into account by using either a modification of the path-integral technique or the equivalent sum-over-states expression under the assumption that the charged particles interact via a shielded Coulomb potential.Keywords
