Abstract

We analyze the short-time behavior of the survival probability in the frame of the Friedrichs model for different form factors. We have shown that this probability is not necessarily analytic at the time origin. The time when the quantum-Zeno effect could be observed is found to be much smaller than usually estimated. We have also studied the anti-Zeno period and have estimated its duration.
