| Jun 17, 2020 at 19:23 | comment | added | Riz Do | @CosmasZachos , ok I guess i havent expected it to be in units of energy. So i understand that part now. But if I am below treshold for decay, how do i get the width expressed with a number with appropriate units? It should be possible as it is part of a problem question. | |
