In the particle physics book of Martin & Shaw, they used QM to derive the decay distribution, namely, breit wigner formula. What confused me was that, here they assumed the resonance state ψ0 is an energy eigenstate with energy E0.
But in another quesion of mine Does the Breit–Wigner formula indicate "violation" of energy conservation? @anna v suggested that the resonance does not have a definite mass. Hence it can't be an energy eigenstate. This seems to be a contradiction.
