Quantum effects with an X-ray free electron laser
C. D. Roberts, S. M. Schmidt, D. V. Vinnik
A quantum kinetic equation coupled with Maxwell's equation is used to estimate the laser power required at an XFEL facility to expose intrinsically quantum effects in the process o…
Coupled fermion and boson production in a strong background mean-field
D. V. Vinnik, R. Alkofer, S. M. Schmidt +3
We derive quantum kinetic equations for fermion and boson production starting from a phi^4 Lagrangian with minimal coupling to fermions. Decomposing the scalar field into a mean-fi…
A kinetic approach to eta' production from a CP-odd phase
D. B. Blaschke, F. M. Saradzhev, S. M. Schmidt +1
The production of (eta,eta')- mesons during the decay of a CP-odd phase is studied within an evolution operator approach. We derive a quantum kinetic equation starting from the Wit…
Pair Creation and an X-ray Free Electron Laser
R. Alkofer, M. B. Hecht, C. D. Roberts +2
Using a quantum kinetic equation coupled to Maxwell's equation we study the possibility that focused beams at proposed X-ray free electron laser facilities can generate electric fi…
Plasma production and thermalisation in a strong field
D. V. Vinnik, A. V. Prozorkevich, S. A. Smolyansky +4
Aspects of the formation and equilibration of a quark-gluon plasma are explored using a quantum kinetic equation, which involves a non-Markovian, Abelian source term for quark and…
Pair creation and plasma oscillations
A. V. Prozorkevich, D. V. Vinnik, S. M. Schmidt +2
We describe aspects of particle creation in strong fields using a quantum kinetic equation with a relaxation-time approximation to the collision term. The strong electric backgroun…
The non-equilibrium distribution function of particles and anti-particles created in strong fields
S. A. Smolyansky, V. A. Mizerny, A. V. Prozorkevich +2
We investigate the quantum Vlasov equation with a source term describing the spontaneous particle creation in strong fields. The back-reaction problem is treated by solving this ki…
Pair creation: back-reactions and damping
J. C. R. Bloch, V. A. Mizerny, A. V. Prozorkevich +4
We solve the quantum Vlasov equation for fermions and bosons, incorporating spontaneous pair creation in the presence of back-reactions and collisions. Pair creation is initiated b…
