Abstract

Corrections to the exponential decay law are theoretically expected to be non-zero but very small. A possibility was discussed during the last few years that they could be found experimentally by frequently repeated measurements performed on an unstable system. We give here an estimate of the considered effect for charged kaons in the hydrogen bubble chamber; this estimate shows that it is out of the question to find the corrections in this type of experiment.
