The stabilization method has been used by many researchers for computing energies and, in some cases, widths of metastable states arising in electronndash;atom and electronndash;molecule interactions. In the present work, the stabilization technique is exploited in a manner which makes a close connection with the sohyphen;called complex corrdinate rotation method. The primary result is an expression which permits the resonance lifetimes to be computed directly rsquo;rsquo;on the back of an envelopersquo;rsquo; from the stabilization graph which is obtained in all stabilization calculations. Several illustrative calculational results are presented.(AIP)
