Abstract

The axion vertex aγγγ, the probability of three-photon axion decay in an external magnetic field, and the cross section of the crossing process aγ→2γ, which CP invariance forbids in vacuum, are calculated for the first time. It is shown that in superstrong magnetic fields B≫F 0=m 2/|e|=4.41·1013 G the probability of three-photon decay is greater than the probability of two-photon decay. The astrophysical aspects of the questions examined are discussed.
