Let's suppose I have a potential well: $$
V(x)=
\begin{cases}
\infty,\quad x<0\\
-V_0,\quad 0<x<R\\
\frac{\hbar^2g^2}{2mx^2},\quad x\geq R
\end{cases}
$$
If ##E=\frac{\hbar^2k^2}{2m}## and ##g>>1##, how can I calculate how much time a particle of mass ##m## and energy ##E## will stay inside the well?
I'm thinking of using the expression of the transmission coefficient: $$T=e^{-2\int_{x_1}^{x_2}dx\sqrt{\frac{2m}{\hbar^2}[V(x)-E]}}$$
and ##\lambda=vT##, where ##\lambda## the probability per unit of time for the particle to pass through and ##v## the number of collisions per second. Any help would be appreciated.
