General equation for Zeno-like effects in spontaneous exponential decay
Abstract
It was shown that different mechanisms of perturbation of spontaneous decay constant: inelastic interaction of emitted particles with particle detector, decay onto an unstable level, Rabi transition from the final state of decay (electromagnetic field domination) and some others are really the special kinds of one general effect - perturbation of decay constant by dissipation of the final state of decay. Such phenomena are considered to be Zeno-like effects and general formula for perturbed decay constant is deduced.
