Mutual assistance between the Schwinger mechanism and the dynamical Casimir effect
arXiv:2003.12061 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.023346
Abstract
We study massive charged particle production from the vacuum confined between two vibrating plates in the presence of a strong electric field. We analytically derive a formula for the production number based on the perturbation theory in the Furry picture, and show that the Schwinger mechanism by the strong electric field and the dynamical Casimir effect by the vibration assist with each other to dramatically enhance the production number by orders of the magnitude.
