Abstract

Though the phenomenon of quantum-mechanical interference has been known for many years, it still has many open questions. The present review discusses specifically how the interference of resonances may and does work. We collect data on the search for rare decay modes of well-known resonances that demonstrate a wide variety of possible different manifestations of interference. Some special kinds of resonance interference, not yet sufficiently studied and understood, are also briefly considered. The interference may give useful experimental procedures to search for new resonances with arbitrary quantum numbers, even with exotic ones, and to investigate their properties.
