Photon Splitting in a Very Strong Magnetic Field.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photon splitting in a very strong magnetic field is analyzed for energy ω < 2m. The amplitude obtained on the base of operator-diagram technique is used. It is shown that in a magnetic field much higher than critical one the splitting amplitude is independent on the field. Our calculation is in a good agreement with previous results of Adler and in a strong contradiction with recent paper of Mentzel et al.

Photon splitting in strong magnetic fields : asymptotic approximation formulae vs . accurate numerical results
We present the results of a numerical calculation of the photon splitting rate below the electron-pair creation threshold (ω ≤ 2m) in magnetic fields B > ∼ B cr = m 2 /e = 4.414 × 10 9 T. Our results confirm asymptotic approximations derived in the low-field (B < B cr) and high-field (B ≫ B cr) limit, and allow interpolating between the two asymptotic regions. Our expression for the photon spli...
متن کاملReduction of photon contamination in electron therapy of cancer with magnetic fields
Introduction: Photon contamination is a restriction on treatment with electron that increase dose to healthy tissue below the tumor. The aim of this study is to reduce the photon contamination using a magnet system. Materials and Methods: A mini-applicator equipped with two neodymium boron permanent magnets was designed which make it possible to adjust the d...
متن کاملInfluence of polarization-averaged photon splitting on cyclotron lines in large-scale atmospheres with super-strong magnetic fields
We considered atmospheres comprised of two density regions of cyclotron resonant scattering and of almost no cyclotron resonant scattering where photon splitting occurs. Photon splitting occurs over a larger scale than cyclotron resonant scattering, since it occurs in a super-strong magnetic field regardless of the existence of a plasma. We investigated emergent spectra using the polarization-a...
متن کاملPhoton splitting above the pair creation threshold in a strong magnetic field
A process of the photon splitting γ → γγ in a strong magnetic field is investigated below and above the pair creation threshold. Contrary to the statement by Baier e.a., the " allowed " channel γ → γ ⊥ γ ⊥ is shown not to be comprehensive for the splitting in the strong field because the " forbidden " channel γ → γ γ ⊥ is also essential. The partial amplitudes and the splitting probabilities ar...
متن کاملThe Transitions Γγ → Νν̄ and Γ → Γγ in a Strong Magnetic Field
The photon-neutrino process γγ → ν ¯ ν and photon splitting are considered in a strong magnetic field. The partial polarization amplitudes are calculated within the standard model in the limit of a strong field. The amplitudes do not depend on the field strength in this limit. Using the vector parts of the amplitudes, the process of the photon splitting γ → γγ is investigated both below and abo...
