New physics searches with heavy-ion collisions at the LHC
Roderik Bruce, David d'Enterria, Albert de Roeck +18
This document summarises proposed searches for new physics accessible in the heavy-ion mode at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), both through hadronic and ultraperipheral …
Observing Thermal Schwinger Pair Production
Oliver Gould, Stuart Mangles, Arttu Rajantie +2
We study the possibility of observing Schwinger pair production enhanced by a thermal bath of photons. We consider the full range of temperatures and electric field intensities fro…
Worldline sphaleron for thermal Schwinger pair production
Oliver Gould, Arttu Rajantie, Cheng Xie
With increasing temperatures, Schwinger pair production changes from a quantum tunnelling to a classical, thermal process, determined by a worldline sphaleron. We show this and cal…
