    "abstract": "We consider a driven 2-level system with one level showing spontaneous decay\nto an otherwise uncoupled third level. Rabi transitions to the unstable level\nare strongly damped. This simple configuration can be used to demonstrate and\nto explore the quantum Zeno effect leading to a freezing of the system to the\ninitial level. A comparison with repeated projection measurements is given. A\ntreatment within a phenomenological theory of continuous measurements is\nsketched. The system visualizes the important role of null measurements\n(negative result measurements) and may serve as a good example for a truly\ncontinuous measurement.",
