Creation of mass processes were treated lately by several authors. The idea was to find some generalized Markov process that will correspond to a semigroup of operators which are not necessarily contraction operators (or equivalently to a quasi transition function which is not submarkov). It was G. A. Hunt [6] who first suggested the idea of Markov processes in which both the starting time and the terminal time are random. Such processes were constructed by Helms [4] and treated also by Nagasawa [12] and the author [10].
