Abstract
The damping rate of hot giant dipole resonances (GDR) is investigated. Besides Landau damping we consider collisions and density fluctuations as contributions to the damping of GDR. Within the nonequilibrium Green's function method we derive a non-Markovian kinetic equation. The linearization of the latter one leads to complex dispersion relations. The complex solution provides the centroid energy and the damping width of giant resonances. The experimental damping widths are the full width half maximum (FWHM) and can be reproduced by the full width of the structure function. Within simple finite size scaling we give a relation between the minimal interaction strength which is required for a collective oscillation and the clustersize. We investigate the damping of giant dipole resonances within a Skyrme type of interaction. Different collision integrals are compared with each other in order to incorporate correlations. The inclusion of a conserving relaxation time approximation allows to find the $T^2$-dependence of the damping rate with a temperature known from the Fermi-liquid theory. However, memory effects turn out to be essential for a proper treatment of the damping of collective modes. We derive a Landau like formula for the one--particle relaxation time similar to the damping of zero sound.
