Abstract: We introduce a new parameter to describe the decay of an unstable state, that is, the time spread of the trajectories at the intersection of a given threshold. The constancy of the “time spread” is a necessary condition for a simplified two-piece (linear diffusive plus nonlinear deterministic) description of a decay.
