NEW NON-MARKOVIAN TREATMENT OF THE SPONTANEOUS DECAY OF AN UNSTABLE ATOMIC STATE IN RELATIVISTIC QED
Keyword(s):
It is shown that the application of a self-consistent projection-operator method, developed recently by the author, makes a complete treatment of the spontaneously decaying atomic state in relativistic QED possible. In a new physical real-transition interaction picture (in which the unobservable interaction of the free electron with the vacuum radiation field is eliminated) explicit finite analytic results for the non-Markovian time evolution and the radiative line shape in the case of relativistic Lyman-α spontaneous emission are obtained.
