Creators

Description

Gamow vectors are defined as generalized eigenvectors (functionals) of the self-adjoint Hamiltonian with complex eigenvalue and exponential time development which are connected with a pair of second sheet S-matrix poles. The rigged Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics (called Gamow vectors) is described. 9 references
