A BCS superconductor, which is placed out of equilibrium, can develop
quantum instabilities, which manifest themselves in oscillations of
the superconductor's order parameter (pairing amplitude, Delta). These
instabilities are manifestations of the Cooper instability. Inelastic
collisions are essential in resolving those instabilities.
Incorporating the quantum instabilities and collisions in a unified
approach based on Richardson's exact solution of the pairing
Hamiltonian, we find that a BCS superconductor may end up in a state
in which the spectrum has more than one gap.
