✦ Synopsis

Different perturbation mechanisms of the spontaneous decay constant are shown: the inelastic interaction of emitted Ž particles with particle detector, decay onto an unstable level, Rabi transition from the final state of decay electromagnetic . field domination and some others are really the special kinds of one general effect -the perturbation of the decay constant by dissipation of the final state of decay. Such phenomena are considered to be Zeno-like effects and the general formula for the perturbed decay constant is deduced.
