qudt:latexDefinition |
Relative variation \(\frac{dN}{N}\) of the number \(N\) of atoms or nuclei in a system, due to spontaneous emission from these atoms or nuclei during an infinitesimal time interval, divided by its duration \(dt\), thus \(\lambda = -\frac{1}{N}\frac{dN}{dt}\). |
qudt:latexSymbol |
