I found following statement in a textbook about nuclear physics:
Does this mean that when the decay width alpha is quite large, a given nucleon is likely to decay by emitting an alpha particle? Or does the decay width mainly depend on the properties of the alpha particle?
[tex] \Gamma_{1}[/tex] is the partial width for decay of resonance by emission of particle 1
