DIPOLE MOMENT OF UNSTABLE ELEMENTARY PARTICLES (in Russian)

An unstable particle is characterized by an exponential amplitude state and is surrounded by dispersed waves of scattered decay products. A change of sign converts the unstable particle into a state with an exponential amplitude surrounded by colliding decay products. Hence, the previously postulated theory that elementary particles do not possess dipole moments does not hold for unstable particles. A relation between instability and dipole moment is analyzed using a neutral particle A/sup 0/ of spin-1/2. A correlation of parity disturbance, with the conservation of T-invariance in the hamiltonian, with the instability of the particle indicates the appearance of a dipole moment, i.e., it indicates an apparent disturbance in T-invariance. In principle it is confirmed that certain properties assigned to stable particles do not always hold for unstable particles. (R.V.J.)
