Abstract

In addition to previous indications of a long-term character of the processes of gamma-ray emission and absorption by nuclei, another two simple arguments in support of this picture are presented. It is shown that the Fourier integral for a short wave train is a frequency distribution whose width is many orders of magnitude larger than actual intrinsic widths of gamma lines. The uncertainty in the photon spatial position is found to be about τc, which is the length of the wave train emitted by a nucleus over the average lifetime τ of this nucleus in an excited state.
