Abstract
Exact analytical solutions for the problem of term crossing are obtained for decaying levels with the help of the Laplace contour-integral method. For the case of fast passage through resonance and for the case of slow decay, simple asymptotic expressions are found from the exact solution in terms of Whittaker functions.
