Oscillating decay of an unstable system

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study the short-time and medium-time behavior of the survival probability in the frame of the N-level Friedrichs model. The time evolution of an arbitrary unstable initial state is determined. We show that the survival probability may oscillate significantly during the so-called exponential era. This result explains qualitatively the experimental observations of the NaI decay.
