Abstract

We discuss various theoretical approaches to describe dissipative dynamics in finite systems. We focus in particular on the case of irradiated clusters and molecules. We recall semi-classical approaches successful in the case of simple metallic clusters at high excitation. We then focus on dedicated quantum approaches. We discuss in particular two recently proposed approaches, a relaxation time ansatz (RTA) and a stochastic extension of mean field dynamics (STDHF). We present a brief outline of the theories and show some examples of applications.
