Summary
The relation between two integral equations of the Trieste theory of unstable-particle decay is discussed and then rigorous inequalities are obtained for the dependence of the observed lifetime on the parameters of the measuring environment and for the deviation of the observed nondecay probability from exponential form.
Riassunto
Si discute la relazione tra due equazioni integrali della teoria di Trieste del decadimento di una particella instabile, e quindi si ottengono disuguaglianze rigorose per la dipendenza del tempo di vita medio osservato dai parametri dell'ambiente di misurazione e per le deviazioni delle propabilità osservate di non decadimento dalla forma esponenziale.
Резюме
Обсуждается связь между двумя интегральными уравнениями теории распада нестабильных частиц, предложенной в Триесте. Затем получаются строгие неравенства для зависимости наблюденного времени жизни от параметров окружающей среды и для отклонения наблюденной вероятности нераспада от экспоненциальной формы.
