Abstract:

The classification of an unstable particle according to the values of the complex wave function renormalization constant is discussed. The propagator of the unstable particle is analytically continued to an unphysical Riemann sheet, on which there exist poles of the propagator corresponding to the unstable particle. The complex renormalization constant is defined as a limiting value of the unphysical propagator at high energies. Equations to determine the complex coupling constant and the complex mass are obtained. The classification thus obtained is similar to the case of a stable particle. Extension to the multi-channel formalism is also discussed.
