We study the pair production of open strings in constant external electric fields, using a general framework which encodes both relativistic string theory and generic linearly extended systems as well. In the relativistically invariant case we recover previous results, both for pair production and for the effective Born-Infeld action. We then derive a non-relativistic limit where the propagatio...
متن کاملOpen strings in relativistic ion traps
Electromagnetic plane waves provide examples of time-dependent open string backgrounds free of α ′ corrections. The solvable case of open strings in a quadrupolar wave front, analogous to pp-waves for closed strings, is discussed. In light-cone gauge, it leads to non-conformal boundary conditions similar to those induced by tachyon condensates. A maximum electric gradient is found, at which mac...
متن کاملMuon Pair Production in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
The exclusive production of one μ+μ− pair in collisions of two ultra-relativistic nuclei is considered. We present the simple method for calculation of the Born cross section for this process. Then we found that the Coulomb corrections to this cross section (which correspond to multi-photon exchange of the produced μ with nuclei) are small while the unitarity corrections are large. This is in s...

متن کاملPair Creation of Open Strings in an Electric Field
On leave of absence from INFN, Sezione di Pisa, Italy ∗ Address after September 1: Department of Physics, New York University, 4 Washington pl., New York, N.Y. 10003 We calculate exactly the rate of pair production of open bosonic and supersymmetric strings in a constant electric field. The rate agrees with Schwinger’s classic result in the weak-field limit, but diverges when the electric field...
