Field mixing in a thermal medium: a quantum master equation approach

Abstract We studied the nonequilibrium dynamics of the indirect mixing of two (pseudo-)scalar fields induced by their couplings to common decay channels in a medium. The effective non-Markovian quantum master equation (QME) for the two fields’ reduced density matrix is derived to leading order in th...
