Formulation of the Schwinger mechanism in classical statistical field theory
arXiv:1303.4633 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.87.125035
Abstract
In this paper, we show how classical statistical field theory techniques can be used to efficiently perform the numerical evaluation of the non-perturbative Schwinger mechanism of particle production by quantum tunneling. In some approximation, we also consider the back-reaction of the produced particles on the external field, as well as the self-interactions of the produced particles.
