"unstable particle" ? --Jerome Potts (talk) 17:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was reading the Quantum Zeno effect entry: "an unstable particle, if observed continuously, will never decay". So I clicked on _unstable particle_ to learn about them and when should they decay - and I find myself at this stub that speaks not about unstable particles nor about decay. If this entry isn't about unstable particles, why are you redirecting that term here. -Ignacio Agulló — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.165.159.42 (talk) 07:17, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

formula

It was Gamma=tau/hbar before i corrected it - from unit consideration Gamma=hbar/tau is the only possible alternative: gamma is the width of the peak (at the middle of its height) so it obviously has energy units (as can also be seen in the picture). hbar has units of energy x time and i rest my case.-B2NVB2 (talk) 12:17, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, obviously. I should've been more careful when creating the article, thanks for pointing it out. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 14:54, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not generic

This article is not generic enough and doesn't really clarify what a resonance is. The reference to the
ϒ
(1S) should be dropped or be used as an example. Referring to it in the opening sentence is confusing. 128.107.239.233 (talk) 00:53, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
