Abstract
The thermal propagator of a heavy muon propagating in a hot QED plasma is examined within the Bloch-Nordsieck approximation, which is valid in the infrared region. Hard thermal loop resummation a la Arnold and Espinosa is taken into account for the photon line. It is shown that t he heavy muon damping rate is finite.
