Abstract
We computed poles of the S-matrix as the poles of some expectation values of the resolvent through a perturbation by a Dirichlet boundary condition. They are exponentially close to the real axis. Our results are valid if k is small (large masses, quasiclassical regime).
The perturbation theory is based upon the equation rч = r Dч + πч.
The resonant energies are given in terms of a convergent power series expansion in the tunneling parameter t. This parameter is exponentially small in k−2.
