On elastic scattering amplitude of planar charged fermions in a constant magnetic field

Abstract

The elastic scattering amplitude (ESA) is obtained in the one-loop approximation of the 2+1 dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED${}_{2+1}$) for planar charged fermions in an external constant magnetic field. We obtain the elastic scattering amplitude in the corresponding massive theory and then discuss and calculate the massless limit of ESA. The imaginary part of ESA are related to the total probability of photons emission by charged fermions in the considered magnetic field. Simple analytical formulas are obtained when planar charged fermions in initial states occupy high excited Landau levels.
