Near-resonance absorption processes: A model study

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We construct an exactly soluble model in which an otherwise bound system can make transitions to another channel with a continuous energy spectrum to simulate the decay of an excited atom by the emission of photons. We show that the resonance absorption line shape occurs naturally in such a model.
