Abstract

The emission of a pair of neutrinos by a charged lepton under the influence of a strong magnetic field is examined. The expression found in general form for the probability of the process l → l'vV in the strong magnetic field of a neutron star is used to evaluate the contribution of inverse muon decaye → μvV to the energy losses of the neutron star. The conditions under which this contribution to the energy losses of a neutron star may compete with that due to neutrino pair emission in the processe → evV are discussed.
