Pion Production from Proton Synchrotron Radiation under Strong Magnetic Field in Relativistic Quantum Approach

Abstract

We study pion production from proton synchrotron radiation in the presence of strong magnetic fields by using the exact proton propagator in a strong magnetic field and explicitly including the anomalous magnetic moment. Results in this exact quantum-field approach do not agree with those obtained in the semi-classical approach. Furthermore, we also find that the anomalous magnetic moment of the proton greatly enhances the production rate about by two orders of magnitude, and that the polar angle of an emitted pion is the same as that of an initial proton. © 2016 Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences.
