The manifestly covariant calculations show that when the pseudo-scalar mass is much less than the temperature, then there is a large enhancement of the decay rate. Alternatively, when the temperature is much higher than the Fermion mass, or the Fermion chemical potential is large, the lifetime is enhanced. Other related processes, and applications of these results to cosmology and astrophysics, are discussed.17 pages, 1 figure (2 ps file).High Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
