What is a resonance?

KEK Lecture (1)
( 1 ) What is a resonance ?
The discrete energy state created in the continuum energy region by the interaction, which has an outgoing boundary condition.
However, there are several definitions of resonances
(i) Resonance cross section
(E) ~ —————1
(E – Er)2 + Γ2/4Breit-Wigner formula
“Quantum Mechanics” by L.I. Schiff
(ii) Phase shift
… If any one of kl is such that the denominator ( f(kl) ) of the expression for tanl,
|tanl| = | g(kl)/f(kl) | ∞ ,
( Sl(k) = e2il(k) ),
is very small, the l-th partial wave is said to be in resonance with the scattering potential.
Then, the resonance: l(k) = π/2 + n π
•Phase shift of 16O + α OCM
“Theoretical Nuclear Physics” by J.M. Blatt and V.F. Weisskopf
(iii) Decaying state
We obtain a quasi-stational state if we postulate that for r>Rc the solution consists of outgoing waves only. This is equivalent to the condition B=0 in
ψ (r) = A eikr + B e-ikr (for r >Rc).
This restriction again singles out certain define solutions which describe the “decaying states” and their eigenvalues.
•Resonance wave function
For the resonance momentum kr=κ–iγ,
ψ(r) = ei κr erγ, (not normalizable (γ>0) )
G. Gamow, Constitution of atomic nuclei and dioactivity (Oxford U.P., 1931)
A.F.J. Siegert, Phys. Rev. 56 (1939), 750.The physical meaning of a complex energy
E=Er – iΓ/2
can be understood from the time depen-dence of the wave function
ψ(t) = ψ(t=0) exp( - iEt/ h )
and its probability density
| ψ(t)|2 = |ψ(t=0)|2 exp( - Γt/ 2h ).
The lifetime of the resonant state is given by τ = h /Γ .

Diverge!
This asymptotic divergence of the resonance wave function causes difficulties in the resonance calculations.
In the method of complex scaling, a radial coordinate r is transformed as
Then the asymptotic form of the resonance wave function becomes

Converge!
It is now apparent that when π/2>(θ-θr)>0 the wave function converges asymptotically. This result leads to the conclusion that the resonance parameters (Er, Γ) can be obtained as an eigenvalue of a bound-state type wave function.
This is an important reason why we use the complex scaling method.
