Abstract
An investigation is made of the possible time dependence of decay laws for unstable particles. The probability P(t) that an unstable particle has not decayed at time t is expressed in terms of S-matrix quantities. It is concluded that, contrary to popular belief, the exponential decay law P=e-Γt is only one of a discrete set of possible decay laws.
