Kinetics of Photon Radiation off an e-e+ Plasma created from the Vacuum in a Strong Laser Field
arXiv:1006.1098 · doi:10.1002/ctpp.201110016
Abstract
We consider the one-photon annihilation mechanism in a electron - positron quasiparticle plasma (EPP) created from the vacuum in a strong subcritical laser field due to the dynamical Schwinger mechanism. On the basis of a kinetic theory approach we show that the secondary photons have a radiation spectrum proportional to 1/k (flicker noise). This effect is very small for EPP excitations in the optical spectrum but can reach quite observable values in the gamma - ray region.
