Anomalous Fermion Production by a Julia-Zee Dyon
Abstract
The emission of light charged fermions from a one-dimensional potential step and from a Julia-Zee dyon is analyzed. Even for the case of massless fermions, this emission process violates chirality and provides a simple illustration of the axial anomaly.
