Transrelativistic pair plasmas in AGN jets
Models of relativistic jets filled with ultrarelativistic pair plasma have turned out to be very suitable to explain the broadband radiation of γ-ray blazars. Given the initial injection and cooling of ultrarelativistic pair plasma in an AGN jet has occurred, producing the observed high-energy γ-ray radiation, we investigate the further evolution of the pair plasma as it continues to move out f...
متن کاملNeutrino production in AGN jets and GRBs
We present neutrino spectra and diffuse fluxes from jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) using the synchrotron proton blazar model, and from Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) assuming that they accelerate protons. The photohadronic interactions are simulated using the Monte Carlo technique. Synchrotron emission from mesons and leptons is taken into account. We derive diffuse -fluxes from both source types...
متن کاملChallenges in W - Pair Production
The investigation of W-pair production offers unique precision tests of the electroweak theory at future ee colliders, including precise determinations of cross sections, the W-boson mass, and gauge-boson self-couplings. The state-of-the-art and future requirements in the theoretical prediction for the reaction ee → WW → 4f(+γ) are briefly reviewed. October 2002 To appear in the proceedings of ...
متن کاملPair production in inhomogeneous fields
We employ the recently developed worldline numerics, which combines string-inspired field theory methods with Monte Carlo techniques, to develop an algorithm for the computation of pair-production rates in scalar QED for inhomogeneous background fields. We test the algorithm with the classic Sauter potential, for which we compute the local production rate for the first time. Furthermore, we stu...
متن کاملCritical Schwinger Pair Production.
We investigate Schwinger pair production in spatially inhomogeneous electric backgrounds. A critical point for the onset of pair production can be approached by fields that marginally provide sufficient electrostatic energy for an off-shell long-range electron-positron fluctuation to become a real pair. Close to this critical point, we observe features of universality which are analogous to con...
