Description

The resonant process of electron–positron pairproduction by an electron in a subcritical magnetic field has been studied when the pair is produced to exited Landau levels. The spin dependency of the process rate has been analyzed. In the spin state with the greatest rate the virtual photon is emitted with a flip of electron spin. This behavior is not suppressed for radiative transitions from a relativistic initial state to low energy levels. (paper)
