  "abstract": "The behavior of the electron dephasing time near zero temperature, $\\tau_\\phi^0$, has recently attracted vigorous attention. This renewed interest is primarily concerned with whether $\\tau_\\phi^0$ should reach a finite or an infinite value as $T \\to$ 0. While it is accepted that $\\tau_\\phi^0$ should diverge if there exists only electron-electron (electron-phonon) scattering, several recent measurements have found that $\\tau_\\phi^0$ depends only very weakly on temperature, if at all, when $T$ is sufficiently low. This article discusses the current experimental status of \"the saturation problem\", and concludes that the origin(s) for this widely observed saturation are still unresolved.",
