Abstract

A study is made of a complete set of neutrino-electron processes in a magnetized plasma. It is shown that processes involving neutrinos in the initial and final states ve ve and vve e + have kinematic amplification in the ultrarelativistic limit. Relatively simple expressions are obtained for the probability and average neutrino energy-momentum loss which are convenient for quantitative analysis. It is observed that the total contribution of ve processes did not depend on the chemical potential of the magnetized electron-positron plasma.
