Schwinger pair production correction in thermal system
arXiv:1909.13427 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.100.116016
Abstract
In this paper, we give formal results of Schwinger pair production correction in thermal systems with external background field by using the evolution operator method of thermo field dynamics, where especially tree level correction of thermal photons is considered with linear response approaches by an effective mass shift. We consider initial systems in two types of vacuums as zero temperature and thermal vacuum, respectively, with correction of thermal photons is or not included. As an example we give results of these corrections to pair production for a constant external background electric field.
