Abstract: A family $A_{a}lpha$ of differential operators depending on a real parameter $alphage0$ is considered. This family was suggested by Smilansky as a model of an irreversible quantum system. We find the absolutely continuous spectrum $sigm{a}_{a.c.}$ of the operator $A_{a}lpha$ and its multiplicity for all values of the parameter. The spectrum of $A_0$ is purely a.c. and admits an explicit description. It turns out that for $alpha<sqrt2$ one has $sigm{a}_{a.c.}(A_{a}lpha)=sigm{a}_{a.c.}(A_0)$, including the multiplicity. For $alphagesqrt2$ an additional branch of absolutely continuous spectrum arises, its source is an auxiliary Jacobi matrix which is related to the operator $A_{a}lpha$. This birth of an extra-branch of a.c. spectrum is the exact mathematical expression of the effect which was interpreted by Smilansky as irreversibility.
