The Gamow Golden Rule of Multichannel Resonances

Quantum Physics 2026-03-12 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We construct the Gamow Golden Rule of multichannel scattering, and use it to obtain the decay distributions, the partial decay constants, the partial decay widths, and the branching fractions of a resonance that has several decay modes. We exemplify the results using two coupled-channel square well potentials.
