Summary: We consider a one-dimensional Stark-Wannier Hamiltonian, \(H=-d^2/dx^2+p(x)-\epsilon x\), \(x\in\mathbb R\), where \(p\) is a smooth periodic, finite-gap potential, and \(\epsilon>0\) is small enough. We compute rigorously the imaginary parts of the spectral resonances. For this purpose we develop some related elements of the adiabatic approach to the equations of the form \(-\psi''+p(x)\psi+q(\epsilon x)\psi=E\psi\), \(\epsilon\to 0\).
