This is the second in a series of two lectures on the technique ofdimensional continuation, a new method for analytically calculating certainenergy transport quantities in a weakly to moderately coupled plasma. Recently,this method was employed by Brown, Preston, and Singleton (BPS) to calculatethe electron-ion temperature equilibration rate and the charged particlestopping power to leading and next-to-leading order in the plasma coupling. Inthis lecture, I develop the framework further, and then explicitly calculatethe electron-ion temperature equilibration rate in the high temperature limit.This method captures all short and long distance physics to second order in theplasma coupling. This analytic perturbative technique is applicable forignition in inertial confinement fusion and for other processes in hot a weaklycoupled plasma.
