Description

A formula is written for the mass operator of the charged vector W boson in a strong magnetic field. Properties of the mass operator are studied. The obtained formula is used to calculate the on-mass-shell expectation value of the mass operator, which is the W-boson elastic scattering amplitude in an external field. The behaviour of the W-boson elastic scattering amplitude in a superstrong magnetic field H≅Hcr=Mw2/e (Mw is mass and e is charge of the W boson) is studied in detail. It is shown that the vacuum of the perturbation theory remains stable against the decay into W+W- pairs in the field
