High-amplitude oscillations in dense matter

Description
High-amplitude density oscillations can enormously enhance transport properties that involve flavor equilibration (e.g. bulk viscosity, neutrino emissivity). This "suprathermal" enhancement can be strong enough to overcome the suppression of the transport by slowness of flavor equilibration or by Cooper pairing of the relevant fermions. We discuss the physics of suprathermal enhancement, and its possible relevance to oscillations of neutron stars.
