Schwinger pair creation of particles and strings
I shortly review the worldline instanton method for calculating Schwinger pair production rates in (i) one-loop QED (ii) multiloop QED and (iii) one-loop open string theory. 1. History Already in 1931 F. Sauter [1] realized that Dirac’s theory of the electron predicts that an electric field of sufficient strength and extent can induce spontaneous creation of electron – positron pairs from the v...
متن کاملSchwinger pair creation of Kaluza – Klein particles : Pair creation without tunneling ∗ Tamar Friedmann
We study Schwinger pair creation of charged Kaluza-Klein particles from a static KK electric field. We find that the gravitational backreaction of the electric field on the geometry – which is incorporated via the electric KK Melvin solution – prevents the electrostatic potential from overcoming the rest mass of the KK particles, thus impeding the tunneling mechanism which is often thought of a...
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...
متن کاملPlane Wave Propagation Through a Planer Slab
An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for propagation of an elastic pulse through a planar slab of finite width. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is s...
متن کاملPLANE WAVE PROPAGATION THROUGH A PLANER SLAB
An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for plane waves propagating through stratified slabs. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is shown that it depends ...
