Delta-function Scattering/Decay of Metastable states

 

Consider the scattering generated by a repulsive Dirac -potential of strength A as in the figure below.

delta_scat.eps hscale=74 vscale=756in2.75in

A steady stream of N particles per second is incident on the -potential from the left. Each particle has mass m and energy E and is incident as shown.
