Abstract: We study the quenched long time behaviour of the survival probability up to time

t

,

of a symmetric L'evy process with jumps, under a sufficiently regular Poissonian random potential

V^{o m e g a}

on

m a t h b b R^{d}

. Such a function is a probabilistic solution to the parabolic eq. involving the nonlocal Schr"odinger operator based on the generator of

(X_{t})_{t g e q 0}

with potential

V^{o m e g a}

. For a large class of processes and potentials, we determine rate functions

e t a (t)

and positive constants

C_{1}, C_{2}

such that [-C_1 leq liminf_{t o infty} frac{log mathbf{E}_x�ig[{ m e}^{-int_0^t V^{omega}(X_s){ m d}s}�ig]}{eta(t)} leq limsup_{t o infty} frac{log mathbf{E}_x�ig[{ m e}^{-int_0^t V^{omega}(X_s){ m d}s}�ig]}{eta(t)} leq -C_2, ] almost surely with respect to

o m e g a

, for every fixed

x i n m a t h b b R^{d}

. The functions

e t a (t)

and the bounds

C_{1}, C_{2}

heavily depend on the intensity of large jumps of the process. In particular, if its decay at infinity is `sufficiently fast', then we prove that

C_{1} = C_{2}

, i.e. the limit exists. Representative examples in this class are relativistic stable processes with L'evy-Khintchine exponents
