Amortissement des phonons dans un superfluide 2D : insuffisance de la règle d’or de Fermi à basse température by Castin, Yvan, Serafin, Alan, Sinatra, Alice

“…It is generally accepted that the phonon gas of a superfluid always enters a weak coupling regime at sufficiently low temperatures, whatever the strength of the interactions between the underlying particles (constitutive of the superfluid). Thus, in this limit, we should always be able to calculate the damping rate of thermal phonons by applying Fermi’s golden rule to the Hamiltonian H3 of cubic phonon-phonon coupling taken from quantum hydrodynamics, at least in the case of a convex acoustic branch and in the collisionless regime (where the eigenfrequency of the considered phonons remains much greater than the gas thermalization rate). …”
