Response to an external magnetic field of the decay rate of a neutral scalar field into a charged fermion pair

Abstract: In this work we explore the effects of a weak magnetic field on the decay process of a neutral scalar boson into a pair of charged fermions in vacuum. Since the analytical computation of the decay width needs of some approximation, following two different approaches, we study the low and high transverse momentum limits. Our findings indicate that the magnetic field effect depends on the kinematics of the scalar particle.PACS numbers: 98.80.Cq, 98.62.En

“…Another ingredient that could be relevant is the spin. In particular, the studies done in (Jaber‐Urquiza et al 2019; Piccinelli & Sánchez 2017) explore different spins of the daughters particles by analyzing the decay of a neutral scalar particle into charged scalars (normalΦϕϕ$$ \Phi \to \phi {\phi}^{\ast } $$) and charged fermions (normalΦtrueψψ$$ \Phi \to \overline{\psi}\psi $$), respectively, in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. Both works consider the weak magnetic field limit (compared with the decay product masses qBm2$$ qB\ll {m}^2 $$, with q$$ q $$ its electric charge) for different kinematic regions of the neutral scalar particle.…”

“…In that case, one obtains the one-loop self energy of the parent particle under external magneic field. The imaginary part of the self energy leads to the decay width [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”
