Group meeting talk July 14, 2022. This is an informal description of how the quantum Langevin equation can be adapted to explain diffuse inelastic neutron scattering. It is a development of a section in Chapter 4 of the Ph.D. thesis of Claire Saunders, which is available for download at the caltech authors library site (45 min, 2022)
