Emission of axions by a hydrogen-like atom in an ultrastrong magnetic field

The resonance effect of emission of axions by a hydrogen-like atom in an ultrastrong magnetic field B ≫ B0 = m2/e = 4.41 × 1013 Gs, which is induced by polarization of electron-positron vacuum, is considered. The emission probability and the radiation intensity are on the order of (B/B0) × 10−12 of electromagnetic radiation characteristics, which exceeds the conventional ratio by many orders of magnitude. It is shown that, at the temperature of early Universe ≲(Zα)2m, the contribution from the resonance mechanism prevails. However, the relation between the concentrations of relic photons and axions cannot explain the origin of cold dark matter. The axion energy density in “our epoch” is 10−4(B/B0) eV/cm3.
