A theoretical study on the damping of collective excitations in a Bose-Einstein condensate
We study the damping of low-lying collective excitations of condensates in a weakly interacting Bose gas model within the framework of imaginary time path integral. A general expression of the damping rate has been obtained in the low momentum limit for both the very low temperature regime and the higher temperature regime. For the latter, the result is new and applicable to recent experiments. Theoretical predictions for the damping rate are compared with the experimental values.

Damping in dilute Bose gases: a mean-field approach
Damping in a dilute Bose gas is investigated using a mean-field approximation which describes the coupled oscillations of condensate and non-condensate atoms in the collisionless regime. Explicit results for both Landau and Beliaev damping rates are given for non-uniform gases. In the case of uniform systems we obtain results for the damping of phonons both at zero and finite temperature. The isothermal compressibility of a uniform gas is also discussed.

Damped Bogoliubov excitations of a condensate interacting with a static thermal cloud
We calculate the damping of condensate collective excitations at finite temperatures arising from the lack of equilibrium between the condensate and thermal atoms. We neglect the non-condensate dynamics by fixing the thermal cloud in static equilibrium. We derive a set of generalized Bogoliubov equations for finite temperatures that contain an explicit damping term due to collisional exchange of atoms between the two components. We have numerically solved these Bogoliubov equations to obtain the temperature dependence of the damping of the condensate modes in a harmonic trap. We compare these results with our recent work based on the Thomas-Fermi approximation.

Cavity assisted quasiparticle damping in a Bose-Einstein condensate
We consider an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate held within an optical cavity and interacting with laser fields. We show how the interaction of the cavity mode with the condensate can cause energy due to excitations to be coupled to a lossy cavity mode, which then decays, thus damping the condensate, how to choose parameters for damping specific excitations, and how to target a range of different excitations to potentially produce extremely cold condensates.

The nonlinear damping of Bose-Einstein condensate oscillations at ultra-low temperatures
We analyze the damping of the transverse breathing mode in an elongated trap at ultralow temperatures. The damping occurs due to the parametric resonance entailing the energy transfer to the longitudinal degrees of freedom. It is found that the nonlinear coupling between the transverse and discrete longitudinal modes can result in an anomalous behavior of the damping as a function of time with the partially reversed pumping of the breathing mode. The picture revealed explains the results observed in [16].

Tunable magnetization damping in transition metal ternary alloys
We show that magnetization damping in Permalloy, Ni80Fe20 (``Py''), can be enhanced sufficiently to reduce post-switching magnetization precession to an acceptable level by alloying with the transition metal osmium (Os). The damping increases monotonically upon raising the Os-concentration in Py, at least up to 9% of Os. Other effects of alloying with Os are suppression of magnetization and enhancement of in-plane anisotropy. Magnetization damping also increases significantly upon alloying with the five other transition metals included in this study (4d-elements: Nb, Ru, Rh; 5d-elements: Ta, Pt) but never as strongly as with Os.

Nonlinear damping in nanomechanical beam oscillator
We investigate the impact of nonlinear damping on the dynamics of a nanomechanical doubly clamped beam. The beam is driven into nonlinear regime and the response is measured by a displacement detector. For data analysis we introduce a nonlinear damping term to Duffing equation. The experiment shows conclusively that accounting for nonlinear damping effects is needed for correct modeling of the nanomechanical resonators under study.

The origin of increase of damping in transition metals with rare earth impurities
The damping due to rare earth impurities in transition metals is discussed in the low concentration limit. It is shown that the increase in damping is mainly due to the coupling of the orbital moments of the rare earth impurities and the conduction $p$-electrons. It is shown that an itinerant picture for the host transition ions is needed to reproduce the observed dependence of the damping on the total angular moment of the rare earths.

Simplified models of electromagnetic and gravitational radiation damping
In previous work the authors analysed the global properties of an approximate model of radiation damping for charged particles. This work is put into context and related to the original motivation of understanding approximations used in the study of gravitational radiation damping. It is examined to what extent the results obtained previously depend on the particular model chosen. Comparisons are made with other models for gravitational and electromagnetic fields. The relation of the kinetic model for which theorems were proved to certain many-particle models with radiation damping is exhibited.

Damping Rate of a Yukawa Fermion at Finite Temperature
The damping of a massless fermion coupled to a massless scalar particle at finite temperature is considered using the Braaten-Pisarski resummation technique. First the hard thermal loop diagrams of this theory are extracted and effective Green's functions are constructed. Using these effective Green's functions the damping rate of a soft Yukawa fermion is calculated. This rate provides the most simple example for the damping of a soft particle. To leading order it is proportional to $g^2T$, whereas the one of a hard fermion is of higher order.

Moduli decay in the hot early Universe
We consider moduli fields interacting with thermalized relativistic matter. We determine the temperature dependence of their damping rate and find it is dominated by thermal effects in the high temperature regime, i.e. for temperatures larger than their mass. For a simple scalar model the damping rate is expressed through the known matter bulk viscosity. The high temperature damping rate is always smaller than the Hubble rate, so that thermal effects are not sufficient for solving the cosmological moduli problem.

Inviscid limit for damped and driven incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in ${{\mathbb R}^2}$
We consider the zero viscosity limit of long time averages of solutions of damped and driven Navier-Stokes equations in ${\mathbb R}^2$. We prove that the rate of dissipation of enstrophy vanishes. Stationary statistical solutions of the damped and driven Navier-Stokes equations converge to renormalized stationary statistical solutions of the damped and driven Euler equations. These solutions obey the enstrophy balance.

Traveling solitons in the damped driven nonlinear Schrödinger equation
The well known effect of the linear damping on the moving nonlinear Schr\"odinger soliton (even when there is a supply of energy via the spatially homogeneous driving) is to quench its momentum to zero. Surprisingly, the zero momentum does not necessarily mean zero velocity. We show that two or more parametrically driven damped solitons can form a complex traveling with zero momentum at a nonzero constant speed. All traveling complexes we have found so far, turned out to be unstable. Thus, the parametric driving is capable of sustaining the uniform motion of damped solitons, but some additional agent is required to stabilize it.

The Landau Damping Effect and Complex-valued Nature of Physical Quantities
Within the framework of the hypothesis offered by authors about complex-valued nature of physical quantities, the effect of the Landau damping has been explored with assumption that not only frequency can be a small imaginary component but also a wave vector. The numerical solution of the obtained dispersion equation testifies that uncollisional damping is accompanied in a certain region of space by antidumping of waves, and in particular situations antidumping may prevail over damping. It is possible that this effect may explain the experimental difficulties connected with inhibition of instabilities of plasma in the problem of controllable thermonuclear fusion.

Nontrapping arrest of Langmuir wave damping near the threshold amplitude
Evolution of a Langmuir wave is studied numerically for finite amplitudes slightly above the threshold which separates damping from nondamping cases. Arrest of linear damping is found to be a second-order effect due to ballistic evolution of perturbations, resonant power transfer between field and particles, and organization of phase space into a positive slope for the average distribution function $f_{av}$ around the resonant wave phase speed $v_\phi$. Near the threshold trapping in the wave potential does not arrest damping or saturate the subsequent growth phase.

Decoherence and Entanglement in Two-mode Squeezed Vacuum States
I investigate the decoherence of two-mode squeezed vacuum states by analyzing the relative entropy of entanglement. I consider two sources of decoherence: (i) the phase damping and (ii) the amplitude damping due to the coupling to the thermal environment. In particular, I give the exact value of the relative entropy of entanglement for the phase damping model. For the amplitude damping model, I give an upper bound for the relative entropy of entanglement, which turns out to be a good approximation for the entanglement measure in usual experimental situations.

Damped Population Oscillation in a Spontaneously Decaying Two-Level Atom Coupled to a Monochromatic Field
We investigate the time evolution of atomic population in a two-level atom driven by a monochromatic radiation field, taking spontaneous emission into account. The Rabi oscillation exhibits amplitude damping in time caused by spontaneous emission. We show that the semiclassical master equation leads in general to an overestimation of the damping rate and that a correct quantitative description of the damped Rabi oscillation can thus be obtained only with a full quantum mechanical theory.

Linear frictional forces cause orbits to neither circularize nor precess
For the undamped Kepler potential the lack of precession has historically been understood in terms of the Runge-Lenz symmetry. For the damped Kepler problem this result may be understood in terms of the generalization of Poisson structure to damped systems suggested recently by Tarasov[1]. In this generalized algebraic structure the orbit-averaged Runge-Lenz vector remains a constant in the linearly damped Kepler problem to leading order in the damping coe

Frequency-dependent Drude damping in Casimir force calculations
The Casimir force is calculated between Au thin films that are described by a Drude model with a frequency dependent damping function. The model parameters are obtained from available experimental data for Au thin films. Two cases are considered; annealed and nonannealed films that have a different damping function. Compared with the calculations using a Drude model with a constant damping parameter, we observe changes in the Casimir force of a few percent. This behavior is only observed in films of no more than 300 $\AA$ thick.

Dipole Oscillations of a Fermi Gas in a Disordered Trap: Damping and Localization
We theoretically study the dipole oscillations of an ideal Fermi gas in a disordered trap. We show that even weak disorder induces strong damping of the oscillations and we identify a metal-insulator crossover. For very weak disorder, we show that damping results from a dephasing effect related to weak random perturbations of the energy spectrum. For increasing disorder, we show that the Fermi gas crosses over to an insulating regime characterized by strong-damping due to the proliferation of localized states.

Confronting the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations with observation
We investigate the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the matter power spectrum due to the quasinonlinear clustering and redshift-space distortions by confronting the models with the observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey luminous red galaxy sample. The chi-squared test suggests that the observed power spectrum is better matched by models with the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations rather than the ones without the damping.

Spectral deviations for the damped wave equation
We prove a Weyl-type fractal upper bound for the spectrum of the damped wave equation, on a negatively curved compact manifold. It is known that most of the eigenvalues have an imaginary part close to the average of the damping function. We count the number of eigenvalues in a given horizontal strip deviating from this typical behaviour; the exponent that appears naturally is the `entropy' that gives the deviation rate from the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for the geodesic flow. A Weyl-type lower bound is still far from reach; but in the particular case of arithmetic surfaces, and for a strong enough damping, we can use the trace formula to prove a result going in this direction.

Pressure Fronts in 1D Damped Nonlinear Lattices
The propagation of pressure fronts (impact solutions) in 1D chains of atoms coupled by anharmonic potentials between nearest neighbor and submitted to damping forces preserving uniform motion, is investigated. Travelling fronts between two regions at different uniform pressures are found numerically and well approximate analytically. It is proven that there are three analytical relations between the impact velocity, the compression, the front velocity and the energy dissipation which only depend on the coupling potential and are \textit{independent} of the damping. Such travelling front solutions cannot exist without damping.

Bloch oscillations in lattice potentials with controlled aperiodicity
We numerically investigate the damping of Bloch oscillations in a one-dimensional lattice potential whose translational symmetry is broken in a systematic manner, either by making the potential bichromatic or by introducing scatterers at distinct lattice sites. We find that the damping strongly depends on the ratio of lattice constants in the bichromatic potential, and that even a small concentration of scatterers can lead to strong damping. Moreover, mean-field interactions are able to counteract aperiodicity-induced damping of Bloch oscillations.

Decoherence and damping in ideal gases
The particle and current densities are shown to display damping and undergo decoherence in ideal quantum gases. The damping is read off from the equations of motion reminiscent of the Navier-Stokes equations and shows some formal similarity with Landau damping. The decoherence leads to consistent density and current histories with characteristic length and time scales given by the ideal gas.

The effect of spin magnetization in the damping of electron plasma oscillations
The effect of spin of particles in the propagation of plasma waves is studied using a semi-classical kinetic theory for a magnetized plasma. We focus in the simple damping effects for the electrostatic wave modes besides Landau damping. Without taking into account more quantum effects than spin contribution to Vlasov's equation, we show that spin produces a new damping or instability which is proportional to the zeroth order magnetization of the system. This correction depends on the electromagnetic part of the wave which is coupled with the spin vector.

Recent Progress on a Manifold Damped and Detuned Structure for CLIC
A damped detuned structure for the main X-band linacs of CLIC is being investigated as an alternative design to the present baseline heavily damped structure. In our earlier designs we studied detuned structures, operating at 11.994 GHz, with a range of dipole bandwidths in order to ensure the structure satisfies beam dynamics and rf breakdown constraints. Here we report on the development of a damped and detuned structure which satisfies both constraints. Preparations for high power testing of the structure are also discussed

Finite temperature damping of collective modes of a BCS-BEC crossover superfluid
A new mechanism is proposed to explain the puzzling damping of collective excitations, which was recently observed in the experiments of strongly interacting Fermi gases below the superfluid critical temperature on the fermionic (BCS) side of Feshbach resonance. Sound velocity, superfluid density and damping rate are calculated with effective field theory. We find that a dominant damping process is due to the interaction between superfluid phonons and thermally excited fermionic quasiparticles, in contrast to the previously proposed pair-breaking mechanism. Results from our effective model are compared quantitatively with recent experimental findings, showing a good agreement.

Confinement induced by fermion damping in three-dimensional QED
The three-dimensional non-compact QED is known to exhibit weak confinement when fermions acquire a finite mass via the mechanism of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. In this paper, we study the effect of fermion damping caused by elastic scattering on the classical potential between fermions. By calculating the vacuum polarization function that incorporates the fermion damping effect, we show that fermion damping can induce a weak confinement even when the fermions are massless and the chiral symmetry is not broken.

Highly Damped Quasinormal Modes and the Small Scale Structure of Quantum Corrected Black Hole Exteriors
Quasinormal modes provide valuable information about the structure of spacetime outside a black hole. There is also a conjectured relationship between the highly damped quasinormal modes and the semi-classical spectrum of the horizon area/entropy. In this paper, we show that for spacetimes characterized by more than one scale, the "infinitely damped" modes in principle probe the structure of spacetime outside the horizon at the shortest length scales. We demonstrate this with the calculation of the highly damped quasinormal modes of the non-singular, single horizon, quantum corrected black hole derived in [14].

Simple Non-Markovian Microscopic Models for the Depolarizing Channel of a Single Qubit
The archetypal one-qubit noisy channels ---depolarizing, phase-damping and amplitude-damping channels--- describe both Markovian and non-Markovian evolution. Simple microscopic models for the depolarizing channel, both classical and quantum, are considered. Microscopic models which describe phase damping and amplitude damping channels are briefly reviewed.

On radiative damping in plasma-based accelerators
Radiative damping in plasma-based electron accelerators is analyzed. The electron dynamics under combined influence of the constant accelerating force and the classical radiation reaction force is studied. It is shown that electron acceleration cannot be limited by radiation reaction. If initially the accelerating force was stronger than the radiation reaction force then the electron acceleration is unlimited. Otherwise the electron is decelerated by radiative damping up to a certain instant of time and then accelerated without limits. Regardless of the initial conditions the infinite-time asymptotic behavior of an electron is governed by self-similar solution providing unlimited acceleration. The relative energy spread induced by the radiative damping decreases with time in the infinite-time limit.

Damping of optomechanical disks resonators vibrating in air
We report on miniature GaAs disk optomechanical resonators vibrating in air in the radiofrequency range. The flexural modes of the disks are studied by scanning electron microscopy and optical interferometry, and correctly modeled with the elasticity theory for annular plates. The mechanical damping is systematically measured, and confronted with original analytical models for air damping. Formulas are derived that correctly reproduce both the mechanical modes and the damping behavior, and can serve as design tools for optomechanical applications in fluidic environment.

A Generalized Interpolation Inequality and its Application to the Stabilization of Damped Equations
In this paper, we establish a generalized H{\"o}lder's or interpolation inequality for weighted spaces in which the weights are non-necessarily homogeneous. We apply it to the stabilization of some damped wave-like evolution equations. This allows obtaining explicit decay rates for smooth solutions for more general classes of damping operators. In particular, for $1-d$ models, we can give an explicit decay estimate for pointwise damping mechanisms supported on any strategic point.

Conformation dependent damping and generalization of fluctuation-dissipation relation
Damping on an object generally depends on its conformation (shape size etc.). We consider the Langevin dynamics of a model system with a conformation dependent damping and generalize the fluctuation dissipation relation to fit in such a situation. We derive equilibrium distribution function for such a case which converges to the standard Boltzmann form at the limit of uniform damping. The results can have implications, in general, for barrier overcoming processes where standard Boltzmann statistics is slow.

On algebraic damping close to inhomogeneous Vlasov equilibria in multi-dimensional spaces
We investigate the asymptotic damping of a perturbation around inhomogeneous stable stationary states of the Vlasov equation in spatially multi-dimensional systems. We show that branch singularities of the Fourier-Laplace transform of the perturbation yield algebraic dampings. In two spatial dimensions, we classify the singularities and compute the associated damping rate and frequency. This 2D setting also applies to spherically symmetric self-gravitating systems. We validate the theory using a toy model and an advection equation associated with the isochrone model, a model of spherical self-gravitating systems.

Phenomenological model of anomalous magnon softening and damping in half-metallic manganites
To describe anomalous zone-boundary softening and damping of magnons in manganites we present a phenomenological two-fluid model containing ferromagnetic Fermi-liquid and non-Fermi-liquid components. The Fermi-liquid component accounts for softening of zone-boundary magnons and for the Landau damping of magnons in the Stoner continuum arising at low frequencies due to zero-point effects. Coupling of the Fermi-liquid and non-Fermi-liquid fluids yields conventional long wavelength magnons damped due to their coupling with longitudinal spin fluctuations.

Determination of Transverse Density Structuring from Propagating MHD Waves in the Solar Atmosphere
We present a Bayesian seismology inversion technique for propagating magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) transverse waves observed in coronal waveguides. The technique uses theoretical predictions for the spatial damping of propagating kink waves in transversely inhomogeneous coronal waveguides. It combines wave amplitude damping length scales along the waveguide with theoretical results for resonantly damped propagating kink waves to infer the plasma density variation across the oscillating structures. Provided the spatial dependence of the velocity amplitude along the propagation direction is measured and the existence of two different damping regimes is identified, the technique would enable us to fully constrain the transverse density structuring, providing estimates for the density contrast and its transverse inhomogeneity length scale.

Optimal decay rate of the bipolar Euler-Poisson system with damping in $\mathbb{R}^3$
By rewriting a bipolar Euler-Poisson equations with damping into an Euler equation with damping coupled with an Euler-Poisson equation with damping, and using a new spectral analysis, we obtain the optimal decay results of the solutions in $L^2$-norm, which improve theose in \cite{Li3, Wu3}. More precisely, the velocities $u_1,u_2$ decay at the $L^2-$rate $(1+t)^{-{5}{4}}$, which is faster than the normal $L^2-$rate $(1+t)^{-{3}{4}}$ for the Heat equation and the Navier-Stokes equations. In addition, the disparity of two densities $\rho_1-\rho_2$ and the disparity of two velocities $u_1-u_2$ decay at the $L^2$-rate $(1+t)^{-2}$.

Symmetry considerations on radiation damping
It is well known that a direct Lagrangian description of radiation damping is still missing. In this paper we will use a specific approach of this problem which is the standard way to treat the radiation damping problem. The objectives here are to construct: a N=2 supersymmetric extension for the model describing the radiation damping on the noncommutative plane with electric and magnetic interactions; a dualization analysis of the original action; the supercharge algebra and the total Hamiltonian for the system.

Damping of a nanocantilever by paramagnetic spins
We compute damping of mechanical oscillations of a cantilever that contains flipping paramagnetic spins. This kind of damping is mandated by the dynamics of the total angular momentum, spin + mechanical. Rigorous expression for the damping rate is derived in terms of measurable parameters. The effect of spins on the quality factor of the cantilever can be significant in cantilevers of small length that have large concentration of paramagnetic spins of atomic and/or nuclear origin.

Long-time behavior of solutions of a BBM equation with generalized damping
We study the long-time behavior of the solution of a damped BBM equation $u_t + u_x - u_{xxt} + uu_x + \mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u) = 0$. The proposed dampings $\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}$ generalize standards ones, as parabolic ($\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u)=-\Delta u$) or weak damping ($\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u)=\gamma u$) and allows us to consider a greater range. After establish the local well-posedness in the energy space, we investigate some numerical properties.

A $N=2$ supersymmetric extension for the model describing the radiation damping on the noncommutative plane with electric and magnetic interactions was obtained. The entire supercharge algebra and the total Hamiltonian for the system were analyzed. Finally, noncommutativity features were introduced and its consequences were explored..

Renormalized solutions to the continuity equation with an integrable damping term
We consider the continuity equation with a nonsmooth vector field and a damping term. In their fundamental paper, DiPerna and Lions proved that, when the damping term is bounded in space and time, the equation is well posed in the class of distributional solutions and the solution is transported by suitable characteristics of the vector field. In this paper, we prove existence and uniqueness of renormalized solutions in the case of an integrable damping term, employing a new logarithmic estimate inspired by analogous ideas of Ambrosio, Lecumberry, and Maniglia, Crippa and De Lellis in the Lagrangian case.

Landau Damping in a Mixture of Bose and Fermi Superfluids
We study the Landau damping in Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture at finite temperature. We find that at low temperature, the Landau damping rate will be exponentially suppressed at both the BCS side and the BEC side of Fermi superfluid. The momentum dependence of the damping rate is obtained, and it is quite different from the BCS side to the BEC side. The relations between our result and collective mode experiment in the recently realized Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture are also discussed.

Applying a formula for generator redispatch to damp interarea oscillations using synchrophasors
If an interarea oscillatory mode has insufficient damping, generator redispatch can be used to improve its damping. We explain and apply a new analytic formula for the modal sensitivity to rank the best pairs of generators to redispatch. The formula requires some dynamic power system data and we show how to obtain that data from synchrophasor measurements. The application of the formula to damp interarea modes is explained and illustrated with interarea modes of the New England 10-machine power system.

Codeword Stabilized Quantum Codes for Asymmetric Channels
We discuss a method to adapt the codeword stabilized (CWS) quantum code framework to the problem of finding asymmetric quantum codes. We focus on the corresponding Pauli error models for amplitude damping noise and phase damping noise. In particular, we look at codes for Pauli error models that correct one or two amplitude damping errors. Applying local Clifford operations on graph states, we are able to exhaustively search for all possible codes up to length $9$. With a similar method, we also look at codes for the Pauli error model that detect a single amplitude error and detect multiple phase damping errors. Many new codes with good parameters are found, including nonadditive codes and degenerate codes.

On Boundary Damped Inhomogeneous Timoshenko Beams and Related Problems
We consider the model equations for the Timoshenko beam as a first order system in the framework of evolutionary equations. The focus is on boundary damping, which is implemented as a dynamic boundary condition. A change of material laws allows to include a large class of cases of boundary damping. By choosing a particular material law, it is shown that the first order approach to Sturm-Liouville problems with boundary damping is also covered.

Diffusion phenomena for the wave equation with space-dependent damping in an exterior domain
In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the wave equation with space-dependent damping in an exterior domain. We prove that when the damping is effective, the solution is approximated by that of the corresponding heat equation as time tends to infinity. Our proof is based on semigroup estimates for the corresponding heat equation and weighted energy estimates for the damped wave equation. The optimality of the decay late for solutions is also established.

Robust quantum state recovery from amplitude damping within a mixed states framework
Due to the interaction with the environment, a quantum state is subjected to decoherence which becomes one of the biggest problems for practical quantum computation. Amplitude damping is one of the most important decoherence processes. Here, we show that general two-qubit mixed states undergoing an amplitude damping can be almost completely restored using a reversal procedure. This reversal procedure through CNOT and Hadamard gates, could also protect the entanglement of two-qubit mixed states, when it undergoes general amplitude damping. Moreover, in the presence of uncertainty in the underlying system, we propose a robust recovering method with optimal characteristics of the problem.

Large time behaivor of global solutions to nonlinear wave equations with frictional and viscoelastic damping terms
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear wave equation with frictional and viscoelastic damping terms. As is pointed out by [8], in this combination, the frictional damping term is dominant for the viscoelastic one for the global dynamics of the linear equation. In this note we observe that if the initial data is small, the frictional damping term is again dominant even in the nonlinear equation case. In other words, our main result is diffusion phenomena: the solution is approximated by the heat kernel with a suitable constant. Our proof is based on several estimates for the corresponding linear equations.

Protecting and enhancing spin squeezing under decoherence using weak measurement
We propose an efficient method to protect spin squeezing under the action of amplitude-damping, depolarizing and phase-damping channels based on measurement reversal from weak measurement, and consider an ensemble of N independent spin-1/2 particles with exchange symmetry. We find that spin squeezing can be enhanced greatly under three different decoherence channels and spin-squeezing sudden death (SSSD) can be avoided undergoing amplitude damping and phase-damping channels.

Remarks on an elliptic problem arising in weighted energy estimates for wave equations with space-dependent damping term in an exterior domain
This paper is concerned with weighted energy estimates and diffusion phenomena for the initial-boundary problem of the wave equation with space-dependent damping term in an exterior domain. In this analysis, an elliptic problem was introduced by Todorova and Yordanov. This attempt was quite useful when the coefficient of the damping term is radially symmetric. In this paper, by modifying their elliptic problem, we establish weighted energy estimates and diffusion phenomena even when the coefficient of the damping term is not radially symmetric.

Finite-orbit-width effects on the geodesic acoustic mode in the toroidally rotating tokamak plasma
The Landau damping of geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) in a torodial rotating tokamak plasma is analytically investigated by taking into account the finite-orbit-width (FOW) resonance effect to the 3rd order. The analytical result is shown to agree well with the numerical solution. The dependence of the damping rate on the toroidal Mach number $M$ relies on $k_r \rho_i$. For sufficiently small $k_r \rho_i$, the damping rate monotonically decreases with $M$. For relatively large $k_r \rho_i$, the damping rate increases with $M$ until approaching the maximum and then decreases with $M$.

Long-time dynamics of the strongly damped semilinear plate equation in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$
We investigate the initial-value problem for the semilinear plate equation containing localized strong damping, localized weak damping and nonlocal nonlinearity. We prove that if nonnegative damping coefficients are strictly positive almost everywhere in the exterior of some ball and the sum of these coefficients is positive a.e. in $% \mathbb{R} ^{n}$, then the semigroup generated by the considered problem possesses a global attractor in $H^{2}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) \times L^{2}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) $. We also establish boundedness of this attractor in $ H^{3}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) \times H^{2}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) $.

The Effects of Rolling Deformation and Annealing Treatment on Damping Capacity of 1200 Aluminium Alloy
Annealing treatment is an important step of rolling deformation that contributes to microstructural evolution and leads to the significant changes in damping capacity. Damping capacities were analyzed in the parallel to rolling direction at 1 and 10 Hz respectively. It was found that severe plastic deformation at 40 percent reduction has lower damping capacity compared to that of 30 percent and 20 percent reductions respectively. The microstructural results show that the grains of as rolled alloys were changed to almost equiaxed structures after a rolling reduction at 40 percent reduction.

Isolated resonances and nonlinear damping
We analyze isolated resonance curves (IRCs) in a single-degree-of-freedom system with nonlinear damping. The adopted procedure exploits singularity theory in conjunction with the harmonic balance method. The analysis unveils a geometrical connection between the topology of the damping force and IRCs. Specifically, we demonstrate that extremas and zeros of the damping force correspond to the appearance and merging of IRCs.

Best exponential decay rate of energy for the vectorial damped wave equation
The energy of solutions of the scalar damped wave equation decays uniformly exponentially fast when the geometric control condition is satisfied. A theorem of Lebeau [leb93] gives an expression of this exponential decay rate in terms of the average value of the damping terms along geodesics and of the spectrum of the infinitesimal generator of the equation. The aim of this text is to generalize this result in the setting of a vectorial damped wave equation on a Riemannian manifold with no boundary. We obtain an expression analogous to Lebeau's one but new phenomena like high frequency overdamping arise in comparison to the scalar setting. We also prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the strong stabilization of the vectorial wave equation.

Radiation Damping of a Polarizable Particle
A polarizable body moving in an external electromagnetic field will slow down. This effect is referred to as radiation damping and is analogous to Doppler cooling in atomic physics. Using the principles of special relativity we derive an expression for the radiation damping force and find that it solely depends on the scattered power. The cooling of the particle's center-of-mass motion is balanced by heating due to radiation pressure shot noise, giving rise to an equilibrium that depends on the ratio of the field's frequency and the particle's mass. While damping is of relativistic nature heating has it's roots in quantum mechanics.

Energy decay for the Klein-Gordon equation with highly oscillating damping
We consider the free Klein-Gordon equation with periodic damping. We show on this simple model that if the usual geometric condition holds then the decay of the energy is uniform with respect to the oscillations of the damping, and in particular the size of the derivatives do not play any role. We also show that without geometric condition the polynomial decay of the energy is even slightly better for a highly oscillating damping. To prove these estimates we provide a parameter dependent version of well known results of semigroup theory.

Analysis of A Splitting Scheme for Damped Stochastic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Multiplicative Noise
In this paper, we investigate the damped stochastic nonlinear Schr\"odinger(NLS) equation with multiplicative noise and its splitting-based approximation. When the damped effect is large enough, we prove that the solutions of the damped stochastic NLS equation and the splitting scheme are exponential stable and possess some exponential integrability. These properties lead that the strong order of the scheme is $\frac 12$ and independent of time. Meanwhile, we analyze the regularity of the Kolmogorov equation with respect to the equation. As a consequence, the weak order of the scheme is shown to be twice the strong order and independent of time.

Stabilization of the weakly coupled wave-plate system with one internal damping
This paper is addressed to a stabilization problem of a system coupled by a wave and a Euler-Bernoulli plate equation. Only one equation is supposed to be damped. Under some assumption about the damping and the coupling terms, it is shown that sufficiently smooth solutions of the system decay logarithmically at infinity without any geometric conditions on the effective damping domain. The proofs of these decay results rely on the interpolation inequalities for the coupled elliptic-parabolic systems and make use of the estimate of the resolvent operator for the coupled system. The main tools to derive the desired interpolation inequalities are global Carleman estimates.

Dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under Markovian channels
We study the dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under incoherent channels, particularly four specific Markovian channels: $-$ amplitude damping channel, phase damping channel, depolarizing channel and bit flit channel for single-qubit states. We show that the amplitude damping channel, phase damping channel, and depolarizing channel do not change the coherence-induced state ordering by $l_1$ norm of coherence, relative entropy of coherence, geometric measure of coherence, and Tsallis relative $\alpha$-entropies, while the bit flit channel does change for some special cases.

Sharp lifespan estimates of blowup solutions to semilinear wave equations with time-dependent effective damping
We consider the initial value problem for the semilinear wave equation with time-dependent effective damping. The interest is the behavior of lifespan of solutions in view of the asymptotic profile of the damping as $t\to \infty$. The result of this paper is the sharp lifespan estimates of blowup solutions for general time-dependent damping including threshold cases between effective and overdamping.

Damping estimates for oscillatory integral operators with real-analytic phases and its applications
In this paper, we investigate sharp damping estimates for a class of one dimensional oscillatory integral operators with real-analytic phases. By establishing endpoint estimates for suitably damped oscillatory integral operators, we are able to give a new proof of the sharp $L^p$ estimates which have been proved by Xiao in Endpoint estimates for one-dimensional oscillatory integral operators, \emph{Advances in Mathematics}, \textbf{316}, 255-291 (2017). The damping estimates obtained in this paper are of independent interest.

Global Attractor For Weakly Damped, Forced Mkdv Equation Below Energy Space
We prove the existence of the global attractor in $ \dot H^s$, $s > 11/12$ for the weakly damped and forced mKdV on the one dimensional torus. The existence of global attractor below the energy space has not been known, though the global well-posedness below the energy space is established. We directly apply the I-method to the damped and forced mKdV, because the Miura transformation does not work for the mKdV with damping and forcing terms. We need to make a close investigation into the trilinear estimates involving resonant frequencies, which are different from the bilinear estimates corresponding to the KdV.

We study the damping within the framework of the Caldirola--Kanai model and chose the parametric excitation in the form of a very short pulse simulated by a delta-kick of frequency; the squeezing phenomenon is reviewed. The cases of strong and weak damping are investigated.

Drastic Reduction of Plasmon Damping in Two-Dimensional Electron Disks
The plasmon damping has been investigated using resonant microwave absorption of two-dimensional electrons in disks with different diameters. We have found an unexpected drastic reduction of the plasmon damping in the regime of strong retardation. This finding implies large delocalization of retarded plasmon field outside the plane of the two-dimensional electron system. A universal relation between the damping of plasmon polariton waves and retardation parameter is reported.

Cauchy problem for thermoelastic plate equations with different damping mechanisms
In this paper we study Cauchy problem for thermoelastic plate equations with friction or structural damping in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq1$, where the heat conduction is modeled by Fourier's law. We explain some qualitative properties of solutions influenced by different damping mechanisms. We show which damping in the model has a dominant influence on smoothing effect, energy estimates, $L^p-L^q$ estimates not necessary on the conjugate line, and on diffusion phenomena. Moreover, we derive asymptotic profiles of solutions in a framework of weighted $L^1$ data. In particular, sharp decay estimates for lower bound and upper bound of solutions in the $\dot{H}^s$ norm ($s\geq0$) are shown.

Damping of cosmological tensor modes in Horndeski theories after GW170817
This paper investigates the propagation of cosmological gravitational waves interacting with free-streaming neutrinos within the context of Horndeski theories of gravity constrained by the detection of GW170817. We apply the theory of cosmological perturbations to explicitly derive the Einstein-Boltzmann equation for the damped propagation of first-order transverse traceless gravitational waves. In contrast to general relativity, we argue that modified gravity can give rise to non-vanishing free-streaming damping effects during the cosmological matter dominated era. We also provide an analytic formula for the main multipole order with which modified gravity and free-streaming neutrinos damp the variety of tensor correlation functions of the cosmic microwave background.

On the Energy Decay Rate of the Fractional Wave Equation on $\mathbb{R}$ with Relatively Dense Damping
We establish upper bounds for the decay rate of the energy of the damped fractional wave equation when the averages of the damping coefficient on all intervals of a fixed length are bounded below. If the power of the fractional Laplacian, $s$, is between 0 and 2, the decay is polynomial. For $s \ge 2$, the decay is exponential. Second, we show that our assumption on the damping is necessary for the energy to decay exponentially.

Damping of the Anderson-Bogolyubov mode by spin and mass imbalance in Fermi mixtures
We study the temporally nonlocal contributions to the gradient expansion of the pair fluctuation propagator for spin- and mass-imbalanced Fermi mixtures. These terms are related to damping processes of sound-like (Anderson-Bogolyubov) collective modes and are relevant for the structure of the complex pole of the pair fluctuation propagator. We derive conditions under which damping occurs even at zero temperature for large enough mismatch of the Fermi surfaces. We compare our analytical results with numerically computed damping rates of the Anderson-Bogolyubov mode.

On the Smallness Condition in Linear Inviscid Damping: Monotonicity and Resonance Chains
We consider the linearized Euler equations around a smooth, bilipschitz shear profile $U(y)$ on $\mathbb{T}_L \times \mathbb{R}$. We construct an explicit flow which exhibits linear inviscid damping for $L$ sufficiently small, but for which damping fails if $L$ is large. In particular, similar to the instability results for convex profiles for a shear flow being bilipschitz is not sufficient for linear inviscid damping to hold. Instead of an eigenvalue-based argument the underlying mechanism here is shown to be based on a new cascade of resonances moving to higher and higher frequencies in $y$, which is distinct from the echo chain mechanism in the nonlinear problem.

On Echo Chains in Landau damping: Self-similar Solutions and Gevrey 3 as a Linear Stability Threshold
We show that the linearized Vlasov-Poisson equations around self-similar non-homogeneous states near zero contain the full plasma echo mechanism, yielding Gevrey 3 as a critical stability class. Moreover, here Landau damping may persist despite blow-up: We construct a critical Gevrey regularity class in which the force field converges in $L^2$. Thus, on the one hand, the physical phenomenon of Landau damping holds. On the other hand, the density diverges to infinity in Sobolev regularity. Hence, ``strong damping'' cannot hold.

Pseudospectra of the damped wave equation with unbounded damping
We analyze pseudospectra of the generator of the damped wave equation with unbounded damping. We show that the resolvent norm diverges as $\Re z \to - \infty$. The highly non-normal character of the operator is a robust effect preserved even when a strong potential is added. Consequently, spectral instabilities and other related pseudospectral effects are present.

The damped wave equation with singular damping
We analyze the spectral properties and peculiar behavior of solutions of a damped wave equation on a finite interval with a singular damping of the form $\alpha/x$, $\alpha>0$. We establish the exponential stability of the semigroup for all positive $\alpha$, and determine conditions for the spectrum to consist of a finite number of eigenvalues. As a consequence, we fully characterize the set of initial conditions for which there is extinction of solutions in finite time. Finally, we propose two open problems related to extremal decay rates of solutions.

Optimal nonlinear damping control of second-order systems
Novel nonlinear damping control is proposed for the second-order systems. The proportional output feedback is combined with the damping term which is quadratic to the output derivative and inverse to the set-point distance. The global stability, passivity property, and convergence time and accuracy are demonstrated. Also the control saturation case is explicitly analyzed. The suggested nonlinear damping is denoted as optimal since requiring no design additional parameters and ensuring a fast convergence, without transient overshoots for a non-saturated and one transient overshoot for a saturated control configuration.

Stability of a star-shaped network with local Kelvin-Voigt damping and non-smooth coefficient at interface
In this paper, we study the stability problem of a star-shaped network of elastic strings with a local Kelvin-Voigt damping. Under the assumption that the damping coefficients have some singularities near the transmission point, we prove that the semigroup corresponding to the system is polynomially stable and the decay rates depends on the speed of the degeneracy. This result improves the decay rate of the semigroup associated to the system on an earlier result of Z.~Liu and Q.~Zhang in \cite{LZ} involving the wave equation with local Kelvin-Voigt damping and non-smooth coefficient at interface.

A generalized finite element method for the strongly damped wave equation with rapidly varying data
We propose a generalized finite element method for the strongly damped wave equation with highly varying coefficients. The proposed method is based on the localized orthogonal decomposition introduced and is designed to handle independent variations in both the damping and the wave propagation speed respectively. The method does so by automatically correcting for the damping in the transient phase and for the propagation speed in the steady state phase. Convergence of optimal order is proven in $L_2(H^1)$-norm, independent of the derivatives of the coefficients. We present numerical examples that confirm the theoretical findings.

Reduction of back switching by large damping ferromagnetic material
Recent studies on magnetization dynamics induced by spin-orbit torque have revealed a weak dependence of the critical current for magnetization switching on the damping constant of a ferromagnetic free layer. This study, however, reveals that the damping constant nevertheless plays a key role in magnetization switching induced by spin-orbit torque. An undesirable switching, returning to an initial state, named as back switching, occurs in a ferromagnet with an easy axis parallel to the current direction. Numerical and theoretical analyses reveal that back switching is strongly suppressed when the damping constant of the ferromagnet is large.

Nonlinear modal analysis of nonconservative systems: Extension of the periodic motion concept
As the motions of nonconservative autonomous systems are typically not periodic, the definition of nonlinear modes as periodic motions cannot be applied in the classical sense. In this paper, it is proposed 'make the motions periodic' by introducing an additional damping term of appropriate sign and magnitude. It is shown that this generalized definition is particularly suited to reflect the periodic vibration behavior induced by harmonic external forcing or negative linear damping. In a large range, the energy dependence of modal frequency, damping ratio and stability is reproduced well. The limitation to isolated or weakly-damped modes is discussed.

Stability for an inverse source problem of the damped biharmonic plate equation
This paper is concerned with the stability of the inverse source problem for the damped biharmonic plate equation in three dimensions. The stability estimate consists of the Lipschitz type data discrepancy and the high frequency tail of the source function, where the latter decreases as the upper bound of the frequency increases. The stability also shows exponential dependence on the constant damping coefficient. The analysis employs Carleman estimates and time decay estimates for the damped plate wave equation to obtain an exact observability bound and depends on the study of the resonance-free region and an upper bound of the resolvent of the biharmonic operator with respect to the complex wavenumber.

Lp-asymptotic stability of 1D damped wave equations with localized and linear damping
In this paper, we study the $L^p$-asymptotic stability of the one-dimensional linear damped wave equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in $[0,1]$, with $p\in (1,\infty)$. The damping term is assumed to be linear and localized to an arbitrary open sub-interval of $[0,1]$. We prove that the semi-group $(S_p(t))_{t\geq 0}$ associated with the previous equation is well-posed and exponentially stable. The proof relies on the multiplier method and depends on whether $p\geq 2$ or $1<p<2$.

Sharp Polynomial Decay for Waves Damped from the Boundary in Cylindrical Waveguides
We study the decay of global energy for the wave equation with H\"older continuous damping placed on the $C^{1,1}$-boundary of compact and non-compact waveguides with star-shaped cross-sections. We show there is sharp $t^{-1/2}$-decay when the damping is uniformly bounded from below on the cylindrical wall of product cylinders where the Geometric Control Condition is violated. On non-product cylinders, we also show that there is $t^{-1/3}$-decay when the damping is uniformly bounded from below on the cylindrical wall.

Stabilisation of the generalised Rao-Nakra beam by partial viscous damping
In this paper, we consider the stabilization of the generalized Rao-Nakra beam equation, which consists of four wave equations for the longitudinal displacements and the shear angle of the top and bottom layers and one Euler-Bernoulli beam equation for the transversal displacement. Dissipative mechanism are provided through viscous damping for two displacements. The location of the viscous damping are divided into two groups, characterized by whether both of the top and bottom layers are directly damped or otherwise. Each group consists of three cases. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the cases in group two to be strongly stable. Furthermore, polynomial stability of certain orders are proved. The cases in group one are left for future study

Vibration damping platform for cavity quantum-electrodynamics experiments
We present a mechanical platform with enhanced vibration damping properties for cavity quantum-electrodynamics experiments. It is based on a composite design that combines a soft, vibration-damping core with a rigid shell maintaining optical alignment. It passively damps the vibrations generated by piezoelectric actuators controlling the mirror positions. The mechanical resonances of the platform, which lead to a length change of the cavity are efficiently suppressed up to 100 kHz. Our platform is ultra-high vacuum compatible and can be used in most applications, in particular where long cavities and optical access to the cavity center are required.

Existence of a generalized polynomial attractor for the wave equation with nonlocal weak damping, anti-damping and critical nonlinearity
In this paper, we first establish a criterion based on contractive function for the existence of polynomial attractors. This criterion only involves some rather weak compactness associated with the repeated limit inferior and requires no compactness, which makes it suitable for critical cases. Then by this abstract theorem, we verify the existence of a polynomial attractor and estimate its attractive speed for the wave equation with nonlocal weak damping, anti-damping and critical nonlinearity.

Stabilization of coupled wave equations with viscous damping on cylindrical and non-regular domains: Cases without the geometric control condition
In this paper, we investigate the direct and indirect stability of locally coupled wave equations with local viscous damping on cylindrical and non-regular domains without any geometric control condition. If only one equation is damped, we prove that the energy of our system decays polynomially with the rate $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ if the two waves have the same speed of propagation, and with rate $t^{-\frac{1}{3}}$ if the two waves do not propagate at the same speed. Otherwise, in case of two damped equations, we prove a polynomial energy decay rate of order $t^{-1}$.

Linear pair creation damping of high frequency plasma oscillation
We have studied the linear dispersion relation for Langmuir waves in plasmas of very high density, based on the Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism. The vacuum contribution to the physical observables leads to ultra-violet divergences, that are removed by a charge renormalization. The remaining vacuum contribution is small, and is in agreement with previously derived expressions for the time-dependent vacuum polarization. The main new feature of the theory is a damping mechanism similar to Landau damping, but where the plasmon energy give rise to creation of electron-positron pairs. The dependence of the damping rate (pair-creation rate) on wave-number, temperature, and density is analyzed. Finally, the analytical results of linearized theory are compared.

Continuum damping of topologically-protected edge modes at the boundary of a magnetized plasma
Recent extension of the topological ideas to continuous systems with broken time-reversal symmetry, such as magnetized plasmas, provides new insights into the nature of scattering-free topologically-protected surface plasma waves (TSPWs). We demonstrate a unique characteristic of TSPWs propagating above the electron cyclotron frequency: their collisionless damping via coupling to the continuum of resonant modes localized inside a smooth plasma-vacuum interface. Damped TSPWs retain their unidirectional nature and robustness against backscattering. When sheared magnetic field creates a boundary between damped and undamped TSPWs, the two refract into each other without reflections

On scattering and damping of Toroidal Alfven eigenmode by drift wave turbulence
We demonstrate analytically that, in toroidal plasmas, scattering by drift wave turbulence could lead to appreciable damping of toroidal Alfven eigenmodes via generation of short-wavelength electron Landau damped kinetic Alfven waves. A corresponding analytic expression of the damping rate is derived, and found to be, typically, comparable to the linear drive by energetic particles. The implications of this novel mechanism on the transport and heating processes in burning plasmas are also discussed.

Intrinsic polynomial squeezing for Balakrishnan-Taylor beam models
We explore the energy decay properties related to a model in extensible beams with the so-called energy damping. We investigate the influence of the nonloncal damping coefficient in the stability of the model. We prove, for the first time, that the corresponding energy functional is squeezed by polynomial-like functions involving the power of the damping coefficient, which arises intrinsically from the Balakrishnan-Taylor beam models. As a consequence, it is shown that such models with nonlocal energy damping are never exponentially stable in its essence.

Damping of gravitational waves in f(R) gravity
We study the damping of $f(R)$ gravitational waves by matter in flat spacetime and in expanding universe. In the former case, we find that the Landau damping of scalar mode in $f(R)$ theory exists, while that of the tensor mode in general relativity does not; we also present the viscosity coefficients and dispersion relations of the two modes. In the later case, we investigate the evolution of tensor and scalar modes in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology with a matter distribution; by considering the case of $f(R)=R+\al R^2$, we analysis the influence of parameter $\al$ on wave damping,and put restrictions on its magnitude.

Global smooth solution of the three-dimensional generalized tropical climate model with partial viscosity and damping is proved in $H^s(\mathbb R^3)$ $(s>2)$ for $\alpha\geq\frac{3}{2}$ and $4\leq\beta\leq5$.

This inverse problem is related to Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT), a hybrid medical imaging technique. PAT is based on generating acoustic waves inside of an object of interest and one of the mathematical problem in PAT is reconstructing the initial velocity from the solution of the wave equation measured on the outside of object. Using the spherical harmonics and spectral theorem, we demonstrate a way to recover the initial velocity.

Sharp conditions for exponential and non-exponential uniform stabilization of the time dependent damped wave equation
It is classical that uniform stabilization of solutions to the damped wave equation is equivalent to the geometric control condition The author previously showed that, when the damping depends on time, a generalization of the geometric control condition implies uniform stabilization at an exponential rate. In this paper, it is shown that this generalization of the geometric control condition is necessary for uniform stabilization at an exponential rate. Furthermore, when the damping does not satisfy this generalization, and has some additional structure, upper and lower bounds on non-exponential uniform stabilization are computed. The qualitative behavior of these upper and lower bounds coincide.

The damped focusing cubic wave equation on a bounded domain
For the focusing cubic wave equation on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $3$, the dichotomy between global existence and blow-up for solutions starting below the energy of the ground state is known since the work of Payne and Sattinger. In the case of a damped equation, we prove that the dichotomy between global existence and blow-up still holds. In particular, the damping does not prevent blow-up. Assuming that the damping satisfies the geometric control condition, we then prove that any global solution converges to a stationary solution along a time sequence, and that global solutions below the energy of the ground state can be stabilised, adapting the proof of a similar result in the defocusing case.

Damping Reveals Hidden Dimensions in Elastic Metastructures Through Induced Transparency
Damping typically results in attenuation of vibrations and elastic wave propagation in mechanical systems. Contrary to this conventional understanding, we demonstrate experimentally and explain theoretically the revival of an elastic wave transmitted through a periodic metastructure when a weak non-Hermitian defect (damping mechanism) induces violation of time-reversal symmetry. Damping alters the nature of the system's resonant modes, instigating interference in the scattering field. This leads to transmission revival, revealing the presence of hidden modes which are otherwise masked by the symmetry. Our findings offer an innovative approach for designing dissipation-driven switches and controllers and non-destructive structural health monitoring systems.

Damped Lyman Alpha Systems at High Redshift and Models of Protogalactic Disks
We employ observationally determined intrinsic velocity widths and column densities of damped Lyman-alpha systems at high redshift to investigate the distribution of baryons in protogalaxies within the context of a standard cold dark matter model. We proceed under the assumption that damped Lyman alpha systems represent a population of cold, rotationally supported, protogalactic disks and that the abundance of protogalactic halos is well approximated by a cold dark matter model with critical density and vanishing cosmological constant. Using conditional cross sections to observe a damped system with a given velocity width and column density, we compare observationally inferred velocity width and column density distributions to the corresponding theoretically determined distributions for a variety of disk parameters and CDM normalizations. In general, we find that the observations can not be reproduced by the models for most disk parameters and CDM normalizations. Whereas the column density distribution favors small disks with large neutral gas fraction, the velocity width distribution favors large and thick disks with small neutral gas fraction. The possible resolutions of this problem in the context of this CDM model may be: (1) an increased contribution of rapidly rotating disks within massive dark matter halos to damped Lyman-alpha absorption or (2) the abandoning of simple disk models within this CDM model for damped Lyman-alpha systems at high redshift. Here the first possibility may be achieved by supposing that damped Lya system formation only occurs in halos with fairly large circular velocities and the second possibility may result from a large contribution of mergers and double-disks to damped Lya absorption at high redshift.
