Abstract

The process of lepton decay into a W-boson and a neutrino and decay of a W-boson into a lepton and antineutrino in the field of a plane electromagnetic wave are considered within the framework of the Weinberg-Salam model. Exact expressions in terms of the external field are obtained for the probabilities of these processes and special cases are considered.
