Shirokov's contracting lifetimes and the interpretation of velocity eigenstates for unstable quantons

TL;DR

This paper explores the interpretation of velocity eigenstates for unstable quantons, their connection to space-like momentum eigenstates, and explains Shirokov's contracting lifetimes for these states, building on previous work.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of velocity eigenstates for unstable quantons and clarifies Shirokov's contracting lifetime concept in this context.

Findings

Velocity eigenstates relate to space-like momentum eigenstates.

Shirokov's contracting lifetimes are explained within this framework.

The study extends previous theoretical analysis on unstable quantons.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the interpretation of velocity eigenstates for unstable quantons, their relationship to space like momentum eigenstates for such quantons and the explanation of Shirokovs contracting lifetimes for such velocity eigenstates. It is an elaboration of a portion of the authors earlier study.
