Abstract
The decays of a pseudoscalar particle, the axion, into two photons of the same polarization are studied in the model involving direct axion-electron coupling. These processes, which are forbidden in a vacuum because of a pseudoscalar nature of the axion, become possible in a magnetic field. It is shown that the kinematics of ultrarelativistic-axion decay substantially depends on photon polarizations. The probability of radiative axion decay in the limit of a strong magnetic field substantially exceeds the corresponding probability in a vacuum.
