Abstract:
In the matrix density formalism for a charged spinor particle located in a constant uniform magnetic field, we develop a technique for calculating the reaction rate and the four-momentum carried away from a plasma by a neutrino in one-vertex neutrino processes. Using this technique, we reproduce results for the luminosity in processes of neutrino synchrotron emission by electrons (positrons) and of electron–positron annihilation producing the neutrino pair.
Keywords:
neutrino process, magnetic field, density matrix.
