Quantal Brownian motion in stationary and nonstationary fermionic reservoirs

A model for collective mode damping in nuclei is devised in the frame of a theory of irreversible evolution. The decay width of a fast nuclear vibration, originated in its coupling to the remaining nuclear degrees of freedom, is calculated in a dynamical fashion. To this aim, a set of equations is p...
