Abstract: The formalism of quantum systems with diagonal singularities is applied to describe scattering processes. Well defined states are obtained for infinite time, which are related to a weak form of intrinsic irreversibility. Real and complex generalized spectral decompositions of the Liouville-Von Neumann superoperator are computed. The physical meaning of Gamov states is discussed.
