Abstract
The two-body leptonic decays of both light and heavy-charged mesons \(X_{l2}^{\pm }\) are investigated in the first Born approximation in the presence of a monochromatic and circularly polarized laser field. As a result of using Volkov functions, the analytic study of these processes has brought a change in the parameters associated with each decay process. The decay width, lifetime, and branching ratio of each decay process are affected by increasing the classical parameter \(\xi\) of the meson. A comparison between the matter decay \(X^{+}_{l2}\) and that of the anti-matter \(X^{-}_{l2}\) in the presence of a circularly polarized laser wave, indicates that increasing laser field strength (increasing the classical parameter \(\xi\) ) can induce a slight dominance of matter over antimatter or vise versa.
