Electrostatic pair creation and recombination in quantum plasmas
arXiv:quant-ph/0603186 · doi:10.1134/S0021364006080030
Abstract
The collective production of electron-positron pairs by electrostatic waves in quantum plasmas is investigated. In particular, a semi-classical governing set of equation for a self-consistent treatment of pair creation by the Schwinger mechanism in a quantum plasma is derived.
