Formulae for partial widths derived from the Lindblad equation
arXiv:1201.0474 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.85.062518
Abstract
A method for calculating partial widths of auto-ionizing states is proposed. It combines either a complex absorbing potential or exterior complex scaling with the Lindblad equation. The corresponding classical rate equations are reproduced, and the trace conservation inherent in the Lindblad equation ensures that the partial widths sums up to the total width of the initial auto-ionizing state.
