Muon decay in a linearly polarized laser field

Abstract

In a previous paper, we showed that the decay rate of a muon is only slightly affected by the presence of a circularly polarized laser and we gave an analytic expression for the correction. In this paper, we present the analytical result for the case of a linearly polarized laser. Again the effect of the laser is small.
