The cosmological evolution of a scalar field is shaped by Hubble damping. Any non-gravitational couplings of the scalar with the primordial thermal bath generically contribute additional damping. Although rarely considered, such thermal…
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…
We propose that the backbending phenomenon can be explained as a result of the disappearance of collective $gamma$-vibrational mode in the rotating frame. Using a cranking+random phase approximation approach for the modified Nilsson…
