Abstract
An analytical result for Euler-Heisenberg effective action, valid for electron spin factor , was extended to the domain via discovered periodicity of the effective action. This allows for a simplified computation of vacuum instability modified by the electrons measured . We find a strong suppression of vacuum decay into electron positron pairs when magnetic fields are dominant. The result is reminiscent of mass catalysis by magnetic fields.
