Many correlated electron systems with diverse magnetic and electronic ground states turn into bad metals at high temperature – that is their resistivity increases with temperature and shows no sign of saturation well beyond the Mott-Ioffe-Regel (MIR) limit.  In this regime there are no quasiparticle-like excitations because with a coherence length below the Fermi wavelength, a particle like description is no longer appropriate.
I will discuss how quasiparticles evolves during this crossover in the model Fermi liquid Sr2RuO4. In contrast to common ARPES beliefs, I will show that these fast and furious quasiparticles eventually die not by losing spectral weight but by dissolving in the incoherent part of the spectrum via excessive broadening.
