Cross-section in relativistic limit: Fermi's golden rule still valid?
In order to calculate the cross-section of an interaction process the following formula is often used for first approximations:
$$
\sigma = \frac {2\pi} {\hbar\,v_i} \left| ...

Irreversibility and the Fermi golden rule
When a quantum system is perturbatively coupled to a continuum of states, one uses the Fermi's golden rule to compute the rate of transition form an initial state to a set of states contained in an ...

Fermi's Golden Rule
It is well known that to calculate the probability of transition in the scattering processes, as a first approximation, we use the Fermi golden rule. This rule is obtained considering the initial ...

Fermi's Golden Rule and Density of States
I know Fermi's Golden Rule in the form
$$\Gamma_{fi} ~=~ \sum_{f}\frac{2\pi}{\hbar}\delta (E_f - E_i)|M_{fi}|^2$$
where $\Gamma_{fi}$ is the probability transition rate, $M_{fi}$ are the transition ...

Density of States for Fermi's Golden Rule
I recently read a question on fermi's golden rule posted here:
Fermi's Golden Rule and Density of States
However, I do not really know how you would go about obtaining a value for the density of ...
