Abstract

In the one-loop approximation we calculate the electronic contribution to the elastic scattering amplitude of a Z-boson in a constant homogeneous magnetic field. Using this amplitude we obtain the probability of the decay of a Z-boson into an e+e− pair, and we investigate its dependence on the boson energy and the external field strength.
