This paper discusses decay process in a field formed by the superposition of two fields: a crossed constant field and an electromagnetic plane-wave field. An expression is derived for the decay probability under the assumption of a nonzero-neutrino mass. The dependence of the decay probability on the lepton spin and on the external-field parameters is analyzed. The variation of the decay probability with the neutrino mass and lepton spin yields information which may be useful for ascertaining the neutrino mass.
