A potential corresponding to a small electric field, $f$, is then introduced and the resonances of the resulting operator are considered as $f\\to0$. It is shown that these resonances are not continuous in this limit. It is conjectured that a similar behavior will appear in more complicated models of atoms and molecules. Numerical results are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-03-29T14:11:25.000Z", "comment": "51 pages, 11 figures.
