Multiparticle correlations in the Schwinger mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the Schwinger mechanism in scalar QED and derive the multiplicity distribution of particles created under an external electric field using the LSZ reduction formula. Assuming that the electric field is spatially homogeneous, we find that the particles of different momenta are produced independently, and that the multiplicity distribution in one mode follows a Bose-Einstein distribution. We confirm the consistency of our results with an intuitive derivation by means of the Bogoliubov transformation on creation and annihilation operators. Finally we revisit a known solvable example of time-dependent electric fields to present exact and explicit expressions for demonstration. YITP-09-45 IPhT-t09/104

Multiparticle Correlations at Lep1
This talk presents an overview of latest results in multiparticle correlation studies in hadronic decays of Z by LEP experiments. Unless stated otherwise, it concerns pairs of identically charged particles. Analyses to be reviewed include the observation of a pion source elongation, studies of correlations between kaons and between Λ baryon pairs, and the transverse mass dependence of the two-b...
متن کاملMultiparticle correlations and momentum conservation in nucleus-nucleus collisions
Particle correlations are very actively studied in heavy-ion collisions at ultra-relativistic energies. Here, an attempt is made at determining a proper reference for such studies, by taking properly into account the multiparticle correlations induced by the conservation of total momentum in the collisions.
متن کاملBose-einstein Correlations as Reflection of Correlations of Fluctuations
Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) observed between identical bosons produced in high energy multiparticle collisions are regarded as very important tool in investigations of multiparticle production processes. We present here their stochastic feature stressing the fact that they can be regarded as a reflection of correlations of fluctuations present in hadronizing system. We show in particular t...
متن کاملFORWARD-BACKWARD MULTIPLICITY CORRELATIONS IN e+e− ANNIHILATION AND pp COLLISIONS AND THE WEIGHTED SUPERPOSITION MECHANISM
Forward-backward multiplicity correlations in symmetric collisions are calculated independently of the detailed form of the corresponding multiplicity distribution. Applications of these calculations to ee annihilation and pp̄ collisions confirm the existence of the weighted superposition mechanism of different classes of substructures or components. When applied to pp̄ collisions in particular, ...
