Abstract
We report calculations of a wave-packet amplitude of the two-body scattering , which leads to the measured probability in realistic experiments. We elucidate the decay amplitude of from this. In such an amplitude of wave packets, there are in and out time boundaries for the initial and final configurations, respectively. In this paper, we prove that the effect of the in time boundary of emerges from without assuming any time boundary a priori. This effect has been overlooked in the standard plane-wave formulation and can exhibit distinct phenomena in wide areas of science. We confirm the result in different integration orders. The result is also interpreted as a Stokes phenomenon in the Lefschetz-thimble decomposition.
