Abstract
In a superhigh magnetic field, direct Urca reactions can proceed for an arbitrary proton concentration. Since only the electrons with high energy (, is the threshold energy of inverse decay) at large Landau levels can be captured, we introduce the Landau level effect coefficient and the effective electron capture rate . By using , the values of and are calculated, where and , are the average neutrino luminosity of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and the average X-ray luminosity of AXPs, respectively. The complete process of electron capture inside a magnetar is simulated numerically.
