Dynamically assisted Schwinger mechanism and chirality production in parallel electromagnetic field
arXiv:2003.08948 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.023257
Abstract
We study particle and chirality production from the vacuum in the presence of a slow strong parallel electromagnetic field superimposed by a fast weak perturbative electromagnetic field. We derive an analytical formula for the particle and chirality production number based on the perturbation theory in the Furry picture. With the formula, we analytically discuss the interplay and dynamical assistance between the Schwinger mechanism and one-photon pair production and clarify effects of a parallel slow strong magnetic field. We also show that the dynamical assistance can significantly enhance chirality production, and that a sizable amount of chirality can be produced even for massive particles. Phenomenological applications including heavy-ion collisions and intense laser experiments are also discussed.
