Dynamical Resonances and Lifetimes in Rigged Hilb ert Space I I Meishan Zhao The James Franck Institute The University of Chicago Chicago Il linois USA Decemb er Abstract A simple scheme for lo cating threshold resonance center in rigged Hilbert space using virial theorem is discussed As a simple test ap plic ations are p erformed on model p otentials resembling H + H2 and O + D2 reactions There are many dierent theoretical approaches in lo cating dynamical resonances Amongst all these approaches quantum scattering theory is the most p opularly used one b ecause a resonance is dened rigorously as a p ole of the scattering matrix However a direct scattering calculation can sometimes b e very tedious and it may lead to very heavy numerical computation In recent years the quasib oundsate theory in rigged Hilb ert space gen erated by complex scaling of the co ordinates through a dilatation transfor mation has gained widespread acceptance b ecause of its eective way of lo cating resonances its convenience in b orrowing the computational meth o ds used in b ound state calculations and its novel thinking in nonHermitian domain Based on the rigged Hilb ert space analysis in our previous studies we have shown that one can dene a resonance width op erator whose exp ectation value is the imaginary part of the energy for a resonance state In this letter we show that invoking the b ound state nature of the resonance the real part of the energy of a threshold resonance may b e obtained by using the virial theorem We present the analysis to estimate the threshold resonance energy for th
