Damping rate for transverse gluons with finite soft momentum in hot QCD
We calculate the damping rate for transverse gluons with {\nineti finite} soft momentum to leading order in perturbative hot QCD. The internal momenta of the one-loop contributing diagrams are soft. This means we have to use effective vertices and propagators which incorporate the so-called hard thermal loops. We expan...

An infrared singularity in the damping rate for longitudinal gluons in hot QCD
We calculate $\gamma_l(0)$, the damping rate for longitudinal on-shell gluons with zero momentum in hot QCD using the hard-thermal-loop (htl) scheme. We find it to be divergent in the infrared, which means that in this scheme $\gamma_l(0)$ is different from $\gamma_t(0)$, the corresponding damping rate for transverse g...

Damping rates in the MSSM and electroweak baryogenesis
We present an analysis of the thermalization rate of Higgsinos and winos based on the imaginary part of the two-point Green function in the {\it unbroken} phase of the MSSM. We use improved propagators including resummation of hard thermal loops and the thermalization rate is computed at the one-loop level in the high ...

We derive an expression for the complete next-to-leading order contribution to the retarded fermion self-energy. The real and imaginary parts of this expression give the next-to-leading order contributions to the mas...

Preheating and Affleck-Dine leptogenesis after thermal inflation
Previously, we proposed a model of low energy Affleck-Dine leptogenesis in the context of thermal inflation. The lepton asymmetry is generated at the end of thermal inflation, which occurs at a relatively low energy scale with the Hubble parameter somewhere in the range $1 \keV \lesssim H \lesssim 1 \MeV$. Thus Hubble ...

Dissipation and Topologically Massive Gauge Theories in Pseudoeuclidean Plane
In the pseudo-euclidean metrics Chern-Simons gauge theory in the infrared region is found to be associated with dissipative dynamics. In the infrared limit the Lagrangian of 2+1 dimensional pseudo-euclidean topologically massive electrodynamics has indeed the same form of the Lagrangian of the damped harmonic oscillato...

Towards a Simple Model of Compressible Alfvenic Turbulence
A simple model collisionless, dissipative, compressible MHD (Alfvenic) turbulence in a magnetized system is investigated. In contrast to more familiar paradigms of turbulence, dissipation arises from Landau damping, enters via nonlinearity, and is distributed over all scales. The theory predicts that two different regi...

Ultimate parameters of the photon collider at the ILC
At linear colliders, the e+e- luminosity is limited by beam-collision effects, which determine the required emittances of beams in damping rings (DRs). While in gamma-gamma collisions at the photon collider, these effects are absent, and so smaller emittances are desirable. In present damping rings designs, nominal DR ...

Viscous cavity damping of a microlever in a simple fluid
We consider the problem of oscillation damping in air of a thermally actuated microlever as it is gradually approached towards an infinite wall in parallel geometry. As the gap is decreased from 20 nm down to 400 nm, we observe the increasing damping of the lever Brownian motion in the fluid laminar regime. This manife...

Wakefield damping for the CLIC crab cavity
A crab cavity is required in the CLIC to allow effective head-on collision of bunches at the IP. A high operating frequency is preferred as the deflection voltage required for a given rotation angle and the RF phase tolerance for a crab cavity are inversely proportional to the operating frequency. The short bunch spaci...

Non-Fermi liquid behavior due to U(1) gauge field in two dimensions
We study the damping rate of massless Dirac fermions due to the U(1) gauge field in (2+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics. In the absence of a Maxwell term for the gauge field, the fermion damping rate $\mathrm{Im}\Sigma(\omega,T)$ is found to diverge in both perturbative and self-consistent results. In the presenc...

Gas damping force noise on a macroscopic test body in an infinite gas reservoir
We present a simple analysis of the force noise associated with the mechanical damping of the motion of a test body surrounded by a large volume of rarefied gas. The calculation is performed considering the momentum imparted by inelastic collisions against the sides of a cubic test mass, and for other geometries for wh...

Nonlinear viscoelastic wave propagation: an extension of Nearly Constant Attenuation (NCQ) models
Hysteretic damping is often modeled by means of linear viscoelastic approaches such as "nearly constant Attenuation (NCQ)" models. These models do not take into account nonlinear effects either on the stiffness or on the damping, which are well known features of soil dynamic behavior. The aim of this paper is to propos...

Influence of an external magnetic field on forced turbulence in a swirling flow of liquid metal
We report an experimental investigation on the influence of an external magnetic field on forced 3D turbulence of liquid gallium in a closed vessel. We observe an exponential damping of the turbulent velocity fluctuations as a function of the interaction parameter N (ratio of Lorentz force over inertial terms of the Na...

Constraint on the growth factor of the cosmic structure from the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillation signature
We determine a constraint on the growth factor by measuring the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the matter power spectrum using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey luminous red galaxy sample. The damping of the BAO is detected at the one sigma level. We obtain \sigma_8D_1(z=0.3) = 0.42^{+0.34}_{-0.28} at the 1\...

On the Interpretation of Magnetic Helicity Signatures in the Dissipation Range of Solar Wind Turbulence
Measurements of small-scale turbulent fluctuations in the solar wind find a non-zero right-handed magnetic helicity. This has been interpreted as evidence for ion cyclotron damping. However, theoretical and empirical evidence suggests that the majority of the energy in solar wind turbulence resides in low frequency ani...

Coupling Photosphere and Corona: Linear and Turbulent Regimes
In a recent work Grappin et al. [1] have shown that low- frequency movements can be transmitted from one footpoint to the other along a magnetic loop, thus mimicking a friction effect of the corona on the photosphere, and invalidating the line-tying approximation. We consider here successively the effect of high freque...

The role of $r$-mode damping in the thermal evolution of neutron stars
The thermal evolution of neutron stars (NSs) is investigated by coupling with the evolution of $\textit{r}$-mode instability that is described by a second order model.The heating effect due to shear viscous damping of the $\textit{r}$-modes enables us to understand the high temperature of two young pulsars (i.e., PSR B...

Noisy non-transitive quantum games
We study the effect of quantum noise in 3 by 3 entangled quantum games. By considering different noisy quantum channels we analyze that how a two-player, three-strategy Rock-Scissor-Paper game is influenced by the quantum noise. We consider the winning non-transitive strategies R, S and P such as R beats S, S beats P, ...

Damping in high-frequency metallic nanomechanical resonators
We have studied damping in polycrystalline Al nanomechanical resonators by measuring the temperature dependence of their resonance frequency and quality factor over a temperature range of 0.1 - 4 K. Two regimes are clearly distinguished with a crossover temperature of 1 K. Below 1 K we observe a logarithmic temperature...

Inviscid dynamical structures near Couette flow
Consider inviscid fluids in a channel {-1<y<1}. For the Couette flow v_0=(y,0), the vertical velocity of solutions to the linearized Euler equation at v_0 decays in time. At the nonlinear level, such inviscid damping has not been proved. First, we show that in any (vorticity) H^{s}(s<(3/2)) neighborhood of Couette flow...

Parallel electric field amplification by phase-mixing of Alfven waves
Previous numerical studies have identified "phase mixing" of low-frequency Alfven waves as a mean of parallel electric field amplification and acceleration of electrons in a collisionless plasma. Theoretical explanations are given of how this produces an amplification of the parallel electric field, and as a consequenc...

Anomalously large damping of long-wavelength quasiparticles caused by long-range interaction
We demonstrate that long-range interaction in a system can lead to a very strong interaction between long-wavelength quasiparticles and make them heavily damped. In particular, we discuss magnon spectrum using 1/S expansion in 3D Heisenberg ferromagnet (FM) with arbitrary small dipolar forces at T<<T_C. We obtain that ...

The Quasinormal Mode Spectrum of a Kerr Black Hole in the Eikonal Limit
It is well established that the response of a black hole to a generic perturbation is characterized by a spectrum of damped resonances, called quasinormal modes; and that, in the limit of large angular momentum ($l \gg 1$), the quasinormal mode frequency spectrum is related to the properties of unstable null orbits. In...
