Dissipative Corrections to Particle Momentum Spectrum at Decoupling

This paper investigates the impact of dissipative effects on the momentum spectrum of particles emitted from a relativistic fluid at decoupling. It uses quantum statistical field theory and linear response theory to calculate these corrections, offering a more rigorous approach than traditional kinetic theory. The key finding is a memory effect related to the initial state, which could have implications for understanding experimental results from relativistic nuclear collisions.
