Breit–Wigner distribution, quantum beats and GSI Anomaly

Journal Article · · Annals of Physics
The relationship between Breit–Wigner distribution as an underlying basis for decaying unstable quantum systems and GSI experiment(anomaly) has not been addressed properly in the literatures. We show that quantum beats can be obtained using a superposition of two Breit–Wigner distributions. This modified distribution can explain the GSI time anomaly with quantum beats resulting from the existence of two energy levels of the decaying ion.
