Scientific paper

The decay of an excited is shown to slow down in the presence of a photo
detector. This is similar to the behavior of an atom in a mistuned cavity, and
under the conditions of the quantum Zeno effect. No external perturbing field
is applied to measure the survival probability of the unstable state.
