We study effects of Fermi surface fluctuations on a single-particle life timenear the diagonal electronic nematic phase on a two-dimensional square lattice.It has been shown that there exists a quantum critical point (QCP) between thediagonal nematic and isotropic phases. We study the longitudinal fluctuationsof the order parameter near the critical point, where the singular forwardscattering leads to a non-Fermi liquid behavior over the whole Fermi surfaceexcept along the k_x- and k_y-directions. We will also discuss the temperatureand chemical potential dependence of the single-particle decay rate.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, revtex
