Effect of super-Gaussian pulse shape on pair production in chirped electric field with spatial inhomogeneity

Abstract
Pair production in spatially inhomogeneous chirped electric fields with super-Gaussian pulse shape is investigated using the Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner formalism, and the effect of super-Gaussian pulse shapes on the reduced momentum spectrum and the reduced total yield of created particles is mainly concerned. It is found that with the variation of the super-Gaussian envelope exponent, the momentum spectrum exhibits the more pronounced oscillations, shifting and broadening. The total yield of created particles increases monotonically with the increase of the super-Gaussian envelope exponent in the high-frequency fields with small chirp and low-frequency fields with any chirp. Meanwhile, the total yield of created particles under the super-Gaussian pulse electric fields is approximately twice that produced with the usual Gaussian pulse envelope. These results can provide theoretical guidance for optimizing the form of external field to enhance the vacuum pair production rate.
