I'm looking for introductory references to the topic of time of tunnelling decay when besides the potential barrier there is also a magnetic field present. I have found a couple of articles about the topic but they treat complicated cases in condensed matter, I'm more interested in the basic of the theory.
 
For a start, the case of a single particle in a 3D radial potential + a constant and uniform magnetic field.
 
What kind of particle? I'm asking because the nature of the interaction with the magnetic field is important.
 
Well, uhm, alpha particles would be the more interesting ( but I guess a spineless charged particle would be the simplest case for a start)
