Abstract
AbstractMagnetic fields are everywhere in the Universe and in our everyday life and many processes are affected by their presence, generating a rich phenomenology that depends also on other possible external agents. We review here some results, both from our workgroup and from other research groups, about the effect of magnetic fields on particles interaction processes, focusing mainly on recent results, but without losing sight on early seminal works on this topic. A vast assortment of physical situations and of analytical and numerical approaches can be found in the literature in this subject, making the comparison between them not straightforward. Our aim is to focus attention on differences and similarities between the different situations and approaches, looking for a systematization scheme that could be predictive, once the role played by each physical ingredient could be understood. The main purpose of this work is to find some physical explanations of the ongoing processes.
