Production Cross Sections of Axion in a Static Electromagnetic Field

Abstract

Photon -axion conversions in static electromagnetic fields of the size a × b × c are considered in detail by the Feynman diagram methods. The differential cross sections are presented and the numerical evaluations of the total cross section are given. Our result shows that the conversion cross-sections in the electric field are quite small, while in the strong magnetic field, the cross-sections are much enhanced, which can be measurable in current experiments.
