Proton β Decay in Large Magnetic Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
A delicate interplay between the anomalous magnetic moments of the proton and neutron makes, in magnetic fields B ≥ 2 × 10 T, the neutron stable and for fields B ≥ 5 × 10 T the proton becomes unstable to a decay into a neutron via β emission. Limits on the field strengths for which these arguments hold are presented and are related to questions of vacuum stability in the presence of such fields. Possible astrophysical consequences are discussed.

Inverse β + - decay of proton in the presence of strong magnetic field
In this work the energy spectrum and solution of Dirac’s equation for the charged and neutral fermions taking into account interaction of the anomalous magnetic moments of particles with the external field are obtained. The total probability of the inverse betadecay of proton in the presence of strong uniform magnetic field taking into account the anomalous magnetic moments of nucleons is found.

متن کاملHadronic Instabilities in Very Intense Magnetic Fields
Composite hadronic states exhibit interesting properties in the presence of very intense magnetic fields, such as those conjectured to exist in the vicinity of certain astrophysical objects. We discuss three scenarios. (i) The presence of vector particles with anomalous magnetic moment couplings to scalar particles, induces an instability of the vacuum. (ii) A delicate interplay between the ano...
