Assisted Tunneling of a metastable state between barriers

Quantum Physics 2023-05-26 v3 Nuclear Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The assisted tunneling of a metastable state between barriers is investigated analytically by means of a simplified one dimensional model. A time dependent perturbation changes the pole spectrum of the wave function introducing a larger decay constant. New insights about the decay of a metastable state are found. The scheme is exemplified for parameters corresponding to the nuclear process of α\alpha decay.
