Description
We have observed a rapid decrease in the lifetime of a homogeneously precessing domain in 3He-B at a temperature of 0.4Tc. This phenomenon does not depend on pressure, magnetic field, or on the presence of 4He covering the surface of the chamber. We suppose this effect is the result of a magnetic relaxation through some unknown channel. Catastrophic relaxation may possibly be connected to some new phase transition in 3He
