Abstract: A model accounting for the time dependence of shape fluctuations in metal microclusters and their effect on the damping width of the plasmon resonance is discussed. An estimate of the relaxation time of the quadrupole shape is given, and calculations demonstrating the effects of time-dependent thermal fluctuations on the plasmon in K9+ are presented.
