For a nonrelativistic atom, which is minimally coupled to the quantized radiation field, resonances emerging from excited atomic eigenstates are constructed by an iteration scheme inspired by \citePizzo2003 and \citeBachFrohlichPizzo2006. This scheme successively removes an infrared cut off in momentum space and yields a convergent algorithm enabling us to calculate the resonance eigenvalues and eigenstates, to arbitrary order in the feinstructure constant α∼ 1/137, and is thus an alternative method of proof of a similar result obtained in \citeSigal2010.
