First experimental search for production of magnetic monopoles via the Schwinger mechanism
B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, P. Benes +64
Schwinger showed that electrically-charged particles can be produced in a strong electric field by quantum tunnelling through the Coulomb barrier. By electromagnetic duality, if ma…

Instanton solution for Schwinger production of 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles
David L. -J. Ho, Arttu Rajantie
We present the results of an explicit numerical computation of a novel instanton in Georgi-Glashow SU(2) theory. The instanton is physically relevant as a mediator of Schwinger pro…

Schwinger pair production of magnetic monopoles: momentum distribution for heavy-ion collisions
Oliver Gould, David L. -J. Ho, Arttu Rajantie
Magnetic monopoles may be produced by the dual Schwinger effect in strong magnetic fields. Today, the strongest known magnetic fields in the universe are produced fleetingly in hea…
