Quantum Effects in the Stochastic Behaviour of Nuclear Matter at Finite Excitations\FOOTNOTE

Abstract

We examine the dynamics of statistical fluctuations in nuclear matter. Linear response functions for the average phase space density are derived within Landau theory. Properties of the stochastic forces are deduced from the quantal fluctuation dissipation theorem, with a suitable generalization to unstable modes. Sizable quantum effects are found both inside and outside the spinodal regime.
