High-Intensity Probes of Axion-Like Particles
Babette Döbrich, Holger Gies
With continuously increasing intensities, modern laser systems can become a valuable tool for the search for axions and axion-like particles. As conventional setups of axion search…
Gluon condensation and scaling exponents for the propagators in Yang-Mills theory
Astrid Eichhorn, Holger Gies, Jan M. Pawlowski
We investigate the infrared (strong-coupling) regime of SU(N)-Yang-Mills theory on a self-dual background. We present an evaluation of the full effective potential for the field st…
Interferometry in pulsed fields
Babette Döbrich, Holger Gies
We discuss the particle-physics discovery potential of ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers. With the use of pulsed magnetic fields, current and future gravitational-wav…
Tunneling of the 3rd kind
Holger Gies, Joerg Jaeckel
We study a new kind of tunneling of particles through a barrier particular to quantum field theory. Here, the particles traverse the barrier by splitting into a virtual pair of par…
Momentum signatures for Schwinger pair production in short laser pulses with a sub-cycle structure
Florian Hebenstreit, Reinhard Alkofer, Gerald V. Dunne +1
We investigate electron-positron pair production from vacuum for short laser pulses with sub-cycle structure, in the nonperturbative regime (Schwinger pair production). We use the…
Pair Production Beyond the Schwinger Formula in Time-Dependent Electric Fields
Florian Hebenstreit, Reinhard Alkofer, Holger Gies
We investigate electron-positron pair production in pulse-shaped electric background fields using a non-Markovian quantum kinetic equation. We identify a pulse-length range for sub…
