Opposite of Half Life: Exponential Growth

[joeyjo100]

Opposite of half life?

If a system is experiencing exponential decay (nuclear decay, capacitors, whatever else), it has a constant half life, and decreases by the same proportion in the same time.

I was wondering what term people use to describe systems experiencing exponential growth? Do people say double life? or am i just being stupid?
