Damping of spin waves

We show that, in ideal-spin hydrodynamics, the components of the spin tensor follow damped wave equations. The damping rate is related to nonlocal collisions of the particles in the fluid, which enter at first order in ℏ in a semiclassical expansion. This rate provides an estimate for the timescale...
