Calculations of Cascade Decay Processes Using Rudimentary Probability Theory.
Zivitz, Maury
American Journal of Physics, v47 n3 p259-61 Mar 1979
Presents a new derivation based on simple theorems of probability theory for the established system of equations describing successive decay transitions of quantum systems. It is indicated that this derivation that has a quantum-mechanical foundation might be more appealing to applied physicists than other derivations. (HM)
