In a previous paper, the measurement of an atomic Berry phase associated with two crossing levels has been suggested as a possible test for an atomic interferometry method. As one of the two levels involved is radiative, an analysis of geometrical phase factor arising in the cyclic evolution of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is undertaken here. It is shown that the use of the dual basis allows a simple generalization of Berry's results and that, in addition to the two possible values encountered in the Hermitian case (0, π), the geometrical phase can take on as intermediate value π/2 or even a complex value, whereas the corresponding quantum states may be permuted. The validity of the adiabatic approximation is discussed in view of the measurability of this new effect.
