We consider a two channel model of the form H{sub {epsilon}}=[(H{sub op}/0)(0/E{sub 0})]+{epsilon}[(0/W{sub 12})(W{sub 21}/0)] on H=H{sub op}+C. The operator H{sub op} is assumed to have the properties of a Schroedinger operator in odd dimensions, with a threshold at zero. As the energy parameter E{sub 0} is tuned past the threshold, we consider the survival probability |<{psi}{sub 0},e{sup -itH}{sub {epsilon}}{psi}{sub 0}>|{sup 2}, where {psi}{sub 0} is the eigenfunction corresponding to eigenvalue E{sub 0} for {epsilon}=0. We find nonexponential decay laws for {epsilon} small and E{sub 0} close to zero provided that the resolvent of H{sub op} is not at least Lipschitz continuous at the threshold zero.
