Local decay for weak interactions with massless particles (Q2422539)

Summary: We consider a mathematical model for the weak decay of the intermediate boson \(Z^0\) into neutrinos and antineutrinos. We prove that the total Hamiltonian has a unique ground state in Fock space and we establish a limiting absorption principle, local decay and a property of relaxation to the ground state for initial states and observables suitably localized in energy and position. Our proofs rest, in particular, on Mourre's theory and a low-energy decomposition.
