Popis: | An exact single-level resonance formula for the survival probability S(t) in the full time interval, that depends only on the resonance energy r and the decay width ?r and fulfils time-reversal invariance, is used to discuss the non-exponential contributions to decay. At short times the formula behaves as S(t)?1-ct1/2 with c a constant, whereas at long times it behaves as S(t)?dt-3, d being a constant. With the time expressed in lifetime units, the onset of non-exponential decay is given at short times by ?S?4/[?(R2 + R + 1/4)] and at long times by ?L?5.41?ln (R) + 12.25, where R = r?/?r. The predictions of the formula are compared with numerical examples and some experimental results searching for non-exponential contributions to decay. |
