Comments on "Which is the Quantum Decay Law of Relativistic Particles?"

Abstract

Results presented in a recent paper "Which is the Quantum Decay Law of Relativistic particles?", arXiv: 1412.3346v2 [quant--ph]], are analyzed. We show that approximations used therein to derive the main final formula for the survival probability of finding a moving unstable particle to be undecayed at time t force this particle to almost stop moving, that is that, in fact, the derived formula is approximately valid only for γ 1, where γ = 1/1-β2 and β = v/c, or in other words, for the velocity v 0.
