Critical 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 کاملIon Acceleration by Short Chirped Laser Pulses
Direct laser acceleration of ions by short frequency chirped laser pulses is investigated theoretically. We demonstrate that intense beams of ions with a kinetic energy broadening of about 1% can be generated. The chirping of the laser pulse allows the particles to gain kinetic energies of hundreds of MeVs, which is required for hadron cancer therapy, from pulses of energies in the order of 100...
متن کاملSchwinger pair production in AdS 2
We analyze the pair production of charged particles in two-dimensional Antide Sitter space (AdS2) with a constant, uniform electric field. We compute the production rate both at a semi-classical level, viewing Schwinger pair production as a tunneling event, and at the full quantum level, by extracting the imaginary part of the one-loop amplitude. In contrast to the usual Schwinger pair producti...
متن کاملThermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling
We calculate the rate of thermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling in weak external fields. Our calculations are valid independently of many properties of the charged particles produced, in particular their spin and whether they are electric or magnetic. Using the worldline formalism, we calculate the logarithm of the rate to leading order in the weak external field and to all ord...
متن کاملSchwinger pair production with ultracold atoms
Article history: Received 6 May 2016 Accepted 14 July 2016 Available online 28 July 2016 Editor: A. Ringwald We consider a system of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice as a quantum simulator for electron– positron pair production in quantum electrodynamics (QED). For a setup in one spatial dimension, we investigate the nonequilibrium phenomenon of pair production including the backreaction l...
