    "abstract": "We generalize the Weisskopf-Wigner theory for the line shape and transition\nrates of decaying states to the case of the energy-driven stochastic\nSchr\\\"odinger equation that has been used as a phenomenology for state vector\nreduction. Within the standard approximations used in the Weisskopf-Wigner\nanalysis, and assuming that the perturbing potential inducing the decay has\nvanishing matrix elements within the degenerate manifold containing the\ndecaying state, the stochastic Schr\\\"odinger equation linearizes. Solving the\nlinearized equations, we find no change from the standard analysis in the line\nshape or the transition rate per unit time. The only effect of the stochastic\nterms is to alter the early time transient behavior of the decay, in a way that\neliminates the quantum Zeno effect. We apply our results to estimate\nexperimental bounds on the parameter governing the stochastic effects.",
