Abstract

We consider axion formation processes in the synchrotron (e −→e − a) and annihilation (e − e +→a) channels in a constant crossed field F μν Fμν=Fμν*F μν=0, which approximates constant fields of other configurations in the ultrarelativistic asymptotic limit. The probability and intensity of axion emission are obtained, and we analyze the energy and field asymptotics. A comparison with the characteristic neutrino channel \(e^ - \to e^ - v\overline v \) yields the constraints on the axion mass and the energy scale for Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking. Possible astrophysical applications are discussed.
