Abstract
A particle decay theory is formulated for long-lived states where the decay is determined by the knowledge of the bound-state wavefunction of the metastable decaying nucleus. This theory is especially interesting for alpha -decaying states. The connection with the alpha -decay theory of Fliessbach et al. (see Nucl. Phys. A, vol.263, p.75, 1976) is sketched briefly. It is indicated that the formation of alpha -clusters at and outside the nuclear surface can be extracted from experimental alpha -particle data.Keywords
