Abstract
At one-loop level the decay $f_1 \to f_2 \gamma$, where f1 and f2 are two spin- 1/2 particles with the same electric charge, is mediated by a boson B and a spin- 1/2 fermion F. The boson B may have either spin 0 - interacting with the fermions through the Dirac matrices 1 and $\gamma_5$ - or spin 1 - with V+A and V-A couplings to the fermions. I give general formulae for the one-loop electroweak amplitude of $f_1 \to f_2 \gamma$ in all these cases.
