Model-Independent Normalization Condition for Gamow Vectors

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Two comments on the theory of Gamow states are presented. First, it is shown that Gamow states may be viewed as two resonating states which correspond to two different eigenproblems for the same real value of energy. Second, a universal normalization condition for all Gamow states is derived.
