Abstract
Processes with oppositely charged spinor particles in initial and/or final states in homogeneous magnetic field B are subject to focusing effects in their relative motion, which yield the amplifying factors in probabilities growing as . In addition the increasing energy of some Landau levels influences the phase space. As a result some processes in the proper spin states can be enlarged as , where is the characteristic 2d phase space factor available without magnetic field. Several examples, including neutron decay, positronium decay and pair production, are quantitatively considered.
