摘要:
The exponential decay law is a consequence of the choice of the ‘‘Breit–Wigner’’ energy distribution when the integration over the energy is extended from −∞ to +∞. We explain why the Breit–Wigner function is the natural choice and study by the method of steepest descent and by direct integration how an integration over the physically relevant positive energy spectrum affects the decay law.
