Abstract

Fano interference is known as the quantum-mechanical interaction between discrete and continuous states [1]. This effect is often observed in atomic physics, when discrete transitions are degenerate with the autoionization continuum, and the characteristic lineshapes are called Fano (or Fano—Beutler) resonances [2, 3]. A review on Fano resonances in atoms is found in the textbook by Friedrich [4].
