In this article we study the dynamics of fermions in a fermion-scalar plasma. We begin by obtaining the effective in-medium Dirac equation in real time which is fully renormalized and causal and leads to the initial value problem. For a…
For both reactions we use an approach similar to that of compound-nucleus reaction theory. For neutron-induced fission, we describe the compound system generated by absorption of the neutron and the nuclear system near the scission point as…

Understanding the short-range nucleon-nucleon interaction is essential for the interpretation of correlation femtoscopy measurements in high-energy hadronic and nuclear collisions. We present an analytical treatment of the strong…
We consider two classical macrospins with dynamical (frequency-dependent) coupling, modeled by a generalized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. We show that, in the absence of local damping, the resulting dynamics are pseudo-Hermitian. When…
