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.
